Abstract
Cognitive behavioral therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold standard treatment for insomnia. There is limited access to qualified providers to deliver CBT-I; moreover, there are patient populations who struggle with access to insomnia care due to limited time and resources. This includes caregivers for persons with Alzheimer’s disease, for whom sleep disturbance is a common concern. Utilizing telehealth to deliver CBT-I may be particularly important for vulnerable populations such as caregivers of persons with dementia, as it can offer an accessible, safe, and cost-effective treatment option that can be tailored to meet the needs of a specific population. This case study illustrates the successful implementation of a four-session CBT-I protocol through telehealth with a caregiver of a person with Alzheimer’s disease. Given the success of this case and the conditions for psychological care the recent pandemic has created, continued research into the efficacy of sleep-related interventions through telehealth is warranted.
