Course Overview
Via live interactive webinar
Course Description:
Sleep problems are among the most common concerns encountered in clinical practice. More than 15% of U.S. adults experience chronic difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early, and many more struggle with sleep disruptions during periods of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, or major life changes.
Healthy sleep is essential for emotional regulation, cognitive functioning, physical health, and overall well-being. Persistent sleep difficulties can interfere with nearly every aspect of treatment. Clients who aren't sleeping well often experience slower progress, increased emotional distress, and greater difficulty applying therapeutic skills.
This practical training provides clinicians with a clear, evidence-based framework for assessing and treating sleep problems using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold-standard first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. Participants will learn how to distinguish temporary sleep disturbances from chronic insomnia, identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep sleep problems going, and implement practical interventions that produce lasting improvement.
Rather than relying solely on sleep hygiene recommendations, this course equips clinicians with actionable CBT-I strategies they can begin using immediately. Through assessment tools, cognitive and behavioral interventions, relaxation techniques, and practical case examples, participants will gain the confidence to help clients improve sleep quality, reduce nighttime anxiety, and develop healthier, more restorative sleep patterns.
Learning Objectives:
Upon the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the key cognitive and behavioral patterns that cause temporary sleep disturbances to develop into chronic insomnia and describe four targeted CBT-I strategies to interrupt and break the insomnia cycle.
- Apply cognitive CBT-I interventions, including cognitive restructuring, to help clients identify and modify unhelpful beliefs, expectations, and worries that perpetuate insomnia.
- Implement behavioral CBT-I interventions, including stimulus control, sleep scheduling, and relaxation strategies, to reduce nighttime arousal, strengthen healthy sleep patterns, and support long-term sleep improvement.
