Starting Insomnia therapy in Reston

What is insomnia therapy?

Insomnia therapy is a tailored form of treatment that addresses chronic sleep disturbances, which can include problems with falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restorative sleep. The goal of Insomnia therapy is to enhance sleep quality, establish healthy sleep routines, and, in turn, improve an individual’s overall well-being by mitigating and reducing the adverse effects of persistent sleep deprivation.

How does insomnia therapy work?

Insomnia therapy combines therapeutic approaches, with a central focus on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors, integrating techniques like stimulus control, sleep restriction, and relaxation training. Thriveworks Reston therapists will also emphasize sleep hygiene education and may include mindfulness and relaxation exercises to improve sleep quality, equipping individuals with effective strategies to enhance their sleep and overall well-being.

Symptoms of insomnia

Common symptoms of insomnia include:

  • Having a hard time falling asleep
  • Waking up in the middle of the night
  • Waking up earlier than desired
  • Bedtime anxiety about sleeplessness
  • Grogginess during the day due to lack of sleep

Should I go to therapy for insomnia?

Symptoms of insomnia often look different for everyone; however, there are some warning signs that can signal the need for insomnia therapy. These include feeling anxious about bedtime, bedtimes getting later and later, energy peaking at night rather than during the day, and drastic caffeine consumption in order to stay awake.

What is the best therapy for insomnia?

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most effective forms of therapy for treating insomnia, working to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors through strategies like sleep hygiene and sleep restriction.

Is insomnia therapy conducted in person or online?

Insomnia therapy at Thriveworks Reston is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long should you go to therapy for insomnia?

The duration of insomnia therapy can vary based on the individual’s needs and progress in treatment. Typically, it involves a short series of sessions over a few weeks to a couple of months, with the number and length of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist. Some experience better sleep within this time, while others choose longer therapy to address complex sleep issues or maintain good sleep habits.

How long does CBT take to work for insomnia?

Many people start to see improvements in their sleep patterns after about two to three weeks of CBT-I. However, the duration and effectiveness will differ for everyone, so don’t worry if it takes a bit longer to have a strong effect.

Insomnia and the Difficulties It Brings

Insomnia has as many forms as people who suffer with it.

  • For some, falling asleep is difficult. Falling asleep may take hours, and they are usually awake throughout most of the night.
  • For others, falling asleep is easy, but staying asleep is hard. They often wake up early in the morning, only getting a few hours of sleep.
  • Others appear to sleep the whole night. However, instead of waking restored, they start the day drained.

These sleep disturbances at night take their toll during the day. Insomnia often comes with many negatively effects in people’s lives. If you have suffered from insomnia, you may have experienced…

  1. Irritability.
  2. Fatigue.
  3. Poor attention span.
  4. Low motivation.
  5. Anxiety.
  6. Accidents.
  7. Low sex drive.

Daily life may become harder with insomnia’s side effects: Poor attention span can lead to decreased work productivity. Irritability can strain friendships and family relationships. Fatigue can cause automobile accidents.

What is insomnia counseling?

Each client has a unique sleep pattern. Each client has unique causes for disruptions in that sleep pattern. Our professionals explore the underlying causes of insomnia and sleep disruptions. Working together with their clients, our counselors explore the behaviors and beliefs that may be prohibiting sleep. For example, our professionals may explore…

  • Are there lifestyle habits that could be adjusted, changed, and eliminated?
  • Have other health issues caused or exacerbating the sleep disturbance?
  • Are negative beliefs about rest prohibiting sleep?
  • Are there environmental factors that could increase the chances of sleep?
  • Could relaxation exercises help?

Daily habits and negative beliefs can disrupt healthy sleep patterns and keep people from getting the rest they need each night. Our trained and experienced counselors can guide their clients as they navigate insomnia’s difficulties and seek to overcome negative beliefs or daily habits that disrupt their rest.

I have been seeing Michael Monahan for 5 1/2 years. He has helped me deal with my son's alcoholism, my intervention to get my son the help he needed to stay sober (He will be 3 years sober on April 1, 2025), and helped me deal with my grief after my husband passed away suddenly a few months after we started seeing Michael. In addition, Michael has helped me with my long standing depression. (I am no longer depressed.) He has helped me become more outgoing, more self-assured, and more willing to extend myself beyond my previous self-made limitations. I have become more self confident because of my therapy sessions with Michael. . . Michael has also helped me think through minor issues with my three children and come up with a reasonable solution to the issues I was dealing with. . . In short, I can't say enough to express how satisfied I am with Michael. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist.

Michael was super in working with my wife, me and sometimes our son. He is a good listener, offers suggestions but in the end, we had to make our own decisions. It was good to bounce ideas off him and his manner makes one feel comforted after discussing issues with him. He also responded to my emails and emergency phone calls.
