Your body already knows how to sleep. CBT-I helps it remember.
Evidence-based telehealth therapy for adults with chronic insomnia.
I'm Dale Decker, LCSW, and I'm a clinical social worker whose sole focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). I see clients by secure video across the state of Wisconsin.
What CBT-I can do
- Reduce or taper off sleep medication under your prescriber's care
- Quiet the patterns that have been keeping sleep at a distance
- Stop dreading bedtime
Why telehealth works well for insomnia
CBT-I translates well to video. Sessions are conversational and built around the small adjustments we make week to week so there's nothing that requires being in the same room. You get treatment from the comfort of your home. Research consistently shows telehealth CBT-I is as effective as in-person care.
I've got 30+ years of clinical experience helping people of all ages and professions and a wide range of experience in outpatient, in-home, and inpatient settings. This breadth of knowledge means I can tailor your treatment to you and your concerns.

FAQ
Is CBT-I right for me?
CBT-I is a strong fit if you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early — and it has been going on for more than a few weeks. It's also a good option if you've been on sleep medication for a while and want a path toward sleeping without it.
