Where you can attend a video visit
You can attend from home, work or another private location within New Jersey. The licensing requirement concerns where you are during the appointment, so you must remain in the state for the full visit.
Chronic insomnia can involve difficulty falling asleep, repeated waking or waking too early, at least three nights a week for three months or longer. CBT-I is usually the first treatment recommended. Weekly sessions help you change sleep habits and manage worry without adding medication.

What treatment involves
The first appointment takes about 50 minutes. Your clinician reviews your sleep history, past treatments and other possible causes of sleep difficulties. You then keep a daily sleep diary, which takes about two minutes each morning.
Your clinician uses the diary to set a sleep window: a planned bedtime and wake time. You review and adjust it together, usually over six to eight weekly appointments. Some changes may become noticeable in the first few weeks. Read more on How CBT-I Works.
Sleep apnea causes pauses in breathing and often occurs alongside insomnia. Our clinicians treat insomnia and coordinate any needed referral to partners who treat apnea.
For a video visit, choose a private place with a reliable internet connection. A phone, tablet or computer will work. A larger screen can make it easier to review your sleep diary. Before the first appointment, write down your usual sleep times, current medicines and anything you have already tried for sleep.

Questions about statewide care
Does online insomnia treatment work as well from home?
CBT-I can be provided by video. You review your sleep diary with the clinician, adjust your sleep schedule and discuss any difficulties. Between sessions, you practice the techniques at home. For appointments, you need a private space and reliable internet.
Which insurance plans apply across New Jersey?
The plans we bill statewide are Aetna, Cigna / Evernorth, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare / Optum, Veterans Affairs Community Care Network. Our team confirms coverage and expected costs before your first visit. You can also pay without using insurance.
What if snoring or stopped breathing is part of my sleep problem?
Tell your clinician at the first visit. Sleep apnea means pauses in breathing during sleep, often with loud snoring, and apnea and insomnia often occur together. We treat insomnia and coordinate referrals to partners who treat sleep apnea.
