Evidence-Based Treatment
Evidence-Based Psychological Treatment in Lincoln NE & Online Throughout Nebraska and Texas
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a proven, non-medication approach to improving sleep. It helps you change unhelpful thoughts about sleep, build healthy bedtime habits, and teaches techniques for relaxing both mind and body at night. Treatment is generally short-term; many clients only need 6-8 sessions before insomnia improves.
The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the first-line treatment for insomnia over sleep medications (2016).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based method that helps you understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. By learning new ways of thinking and building healthier habits, CBT gives you tools to manage challenges, reduce stress, and feel more in control. CBT can be effective for many conditions, including insomnia (see above), chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders.

Meditation Training
Life can pull us in many directions. Meditation training (often included in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) helps develop skills for quieting the mind and living more fully in the present moment. It can reduce the impact of stress on both mind and body, improve emotional well-being, and decrease distress related to health challenges.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a gentle, research-based treatment that teaches you how to calm your mind and body through simple practices like meditation, breathing, and learning stress management tools. Instead of feeling stuck in worry or stress, MBSR helps you slow down, be present, and respond to life’s challenges with more balance. Studies show it can ease anxiety, depression, chronic pain, sleep problems, and even everyday stress-helping you feel more grounded, peaceful, and resilient.

Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, guiding approach to help people find their own motivation to make positive changes. Rather than feeling pressured to change, this method helps you explore your goals, weigh pros and cons, and make decisions aligned with your values. It’s often used for improving health behaviors—e.g. quitting unhealthy habits, adhering to treatment, or enhancing lifestyle changes.

Pain Therapy
There are many skills and treatment approaches that can reduce chronic pain and help improve functioning. Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps your brain “unlearn” chronic pain by relearning that your body is safe, so your pain signals can calm down. It’s like retraining your nervous system to stop overreacting to stimuli. Behavioral treatment used in conjunction with PRT helps you learn practical skills to manage pain, increase movement in a healthy way, increase coping strategies, and implement lifestyle changes so pain interferes less with daily life.
