Many members choose to mix and match therapy formats for a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan.

Insomnia and sleep disorders go beyond the occasional restless night. When sleep difficulties become persistent and begin affecting your daytime functioning, mood, and health, it's time to seek support.
Common signs to watch for include:
If you recognize these patterns in yourself or a loved one, working with a licensed therapist can help.

Sleep touches every aspect of your physical and mental health. When insomnia becomes chronic, the effects extend far beyond feeling tired. Understanding these impacts is the first step toward getting the help you deserve.
Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to weakened immunity, increased inflammation, elevated blood pressure, weight gain, and higher risk of chronic conditions. Your body needs sleep to repair and regulate, and therapy can help restore that process.
Insomnia and mental health conditions like anxiety and depression feed each other in a vicious cycle. Sleep deprivation amplifies emotional reactivity, reduces stress tolerance, and can trigger or worsen anxiety, depression, and irritability.
Cognitive fog, poor concentration, and slower reaction times caused by insomnia directly impact job performance, creativity, and decision-making. Many people with chronic insomnia experience increased errors, absenteeism, and stalled career growth.
Sleep deprivation makes you more irritable, less patient, and less emotionally available. Partners may feel shut out, and the strain of separate sleep schedules or nighttime disruptions can erode intimacy and connection over time.
Severe sleep deprivation impairs reaction time and judgment similarly to alcohol intoxication. Drowsy driving, workplace accidents, and difficulty performing routine tasks are real and dangerous consequences of untreated insomnia.
When you can't do the most basic thing your body needs, it takes a toll on your sense of competence and hope. Many people with chronic insomnia feel broken, frustrated, or ashamed. Therapy helps rebuild confidence that better sleep is achievable.
Starting therapy for sleep problems is a powerful step. Here's what your first few sessions typically look like, so you know exactly what to expect.
Your therapist will ask about your sleep patterns, including when you go to bed, how long it takes to fall asleep, how often you wake up, your wake time, and any substances or habits that may affect your sleep. You may be asked to start a sleep diary to track patterns over the coming weeks.
Your therapist will explain how insomnia works: the role of hyperarousal, conditioned wakefulness (your brain learning to associate bed with being awake), sleep anxiety, and compensatory behaviors like napping or spending extra time in bed that unintentionally reinforce the problem.
Most therapists will begin introducing practical tools early, such as stimulus control (only using bed for sleep), sleep restriction (temporarily limiting time in bed to build sleep drive), and cognitive techniques for managing racing thoughts at bedtime. You'll leave with something actionable immediately.
By your third or fourth session, your therapist will review your sleep diary data, adjust your sleep schedule, and begin deeper work on the cognitive patterns that maintain insomnia. Many Grouport members report noticeable improvements in sleep quality and duration within the first 4-6 weeks of consistent therapy.

"Grouport's approach to DBT is a real strength. This approach provides tools and methods for working with difficult emotions and getting a handle on them. It has given me hope where other approaches have failed."
At Grouport, our virtual insomnia therapy integrates several evidence-based therapeutic techniques designed to help you break the insomnia cycle, rebuild healthy sleep patterns, and address the mental health conditions that often drive sleep problems:
CBT-I is the gold-standard, first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, recommended over medication by the American College of Physicians. It combines sleep restriction (temporarily limiting time in bed to build sleep pressure), stimulus control (re-associating bed with sleep rather than wakefulness), and cognitive restructuring to address unhelpful beliefs about sleep.
Your therapist will help you audit and optimize the behavioral and environmental factors that influence sleep quality: consistent wake times, light exposure, caffeine and alcohol timing, screen use, bedroom environment, and pre-sleep routines. These foundational habits create the conditions your body needs to sleep well.
DBT teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation skills that are particularly effective for managing the racing thoughts, nighttime anxiety, and emotional overwhelm that keep you awake. These skills help you observe intrusive thoughts without engaging with them and calm your nervous system before bed.
ACT helps you change your relationship with sleeplessness by learning to accept uncomfortable feelings of wakefulness without catastrophizing. Rather than fighting to control sleep (which increases arousal), ACT teaches you to let go of the struggle, reducing the performance anxiety that fuels insomnia.
Mindfulness meditation, body scan exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation help lower physiological arousal and quiet the mental chatter that keeps you awake. These practices train your nervous system to shift from "alert mode" to a state conducive to sleep.
Many people with insomnia carry catastrophic beliefs about sleep ("If I don't sleep tonight, tomorrow will be ruined"). Cognitive restructuring helps you identify and challenge these thoughts, replacing them with more balanced perspectives that reduce the pressure around bedtime and lower anxiety.
Every Grouport therapist is a licensed, accredited mental health professional with specialized training in sleep-related conditions and the anxiety, depression, and stress that accompany them.
Our therapists typically have over a decade of clinical experience across diverse settings including hospitals, community mental health centers, and private practice, with specialized expertise in insomnia, sleep disorders, and evidence-based interventions like CBT-I, DBT, and relaxation training.
We continually evaluate outcomes through internal studies and outcomes studies with researchers from leading universities such as Carnegie Mellon, University of Essex, and University of Cologne, ensuring our insomnia therapy is grounded in the latest clinical evidence.

Insomnia often co-occurs with other mental health conditions. Our licensed therapists are experienced in treating a wide range of challenges, and many members address multiple concerns simultaneously through our flexible therapy options.
Grouport provides online group therapy, individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, teen therapy, intensive outpatient program (IOP), all held virtually over video chat. We also offer a DBT self-guided program, which gives you lifetime access to a self-paced DBT program with therapist-guided lessons.

Online therapy has revolutionized mental health care. For individuals with insomnia and sleep disorders, accessing treatment from home removes a major barrier, since exhaustion and disrupted schedules can make traveling to in-person appointments feel overwhelming. Each group therapy session is led by licensed therapists with experience supporting sleep-related conditions and the mental health challenges that accompany them. With group sessions starting at just $35, building healthier sleep habits is within reach.
Virtual group therapy or online individual therapy for insomnia is designed to help you restore healthy sleep patterns, address the underlying psychological factors driving poor sleep, and improve your overall quality of life. Key objectives include:
Understanding Your Sleep Patterns: Using sleep diaries and behavioral analysis to identify what's maintaining your insomnia.
Breaking the Insomnia Cycle: Addressing sleep anxiety, conditioned wakefulness, and counterproductive habits like spending excess time in bed.
Rebuilding Sleep Confidence: Through stimulus control and sleep restriction techniques that retrain your brain to associate bed with sleep.
Strengthening Emotional Regulation: Developing mindfulness, relaxation training, and stress management skills to quiet the mind at bedtime.
Occasional sleeplessness is common and usually tied to a specific stressor, schedule change, or temporary disruption. Most people experience a few bad nights here and there without lasting effects.
Chronic insomnia is diagnosed when you have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early at least three nights per week for three months or more, and when these sleep difficulties cause significant daytime impairment such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, or reduced performance at work or school. Therapy addresses the behavioral and cognitive patterns that keep chronic insomnia going.

Yes. Therapy and medication can work well together, and CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is actually recommended as the first-line treatment over medication by the American College of Physicians. While sleep aids can provide short-term relief, therapy addresses the underlying thought patterns, behaviors, and anxiety that perpetuate insomnia. Many people who complete CBT-I are able to reduce or discontinue sleep medication under their doctor's guidance.
Most people begin noticing meaningful improvements in their sleep within 4-8 weeks of consistent therapy, particularly with CBT-I based approaches. Sleep restriction and stimulus control techniques often produce noticeable results within the first 2-3 weeks, though sleep may temporarily feel worse before it improves as your body adjusts. The timeline varies based on severity, how long you've been experiencing insomnia, and how consistently you follow your therapist's recommendations between sessions.
Between sessions, practice the techniques your therapist introduces, such as getting out of bed after 15-20 minutes of wakefulness, avoiding clock-watching, and using relaxation exercises. Many members find it helpful to keep a sleep diary to discuss patterns in their next session. If you are in a bundled plan with multiple sessions per week, you will have more frequent touchpoints. If you're experiencing an immediate mental health crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 or go to your nearest emergency room.
Whether you're dealing with chronic insomnia, nighttime anxiety, or the exhaustion that comes from months of poor sleep, therapy can help you rebuild healthy patterns and wake up feeling like yourself again.
