Profession: Psychotherapist
Gayle MacBride, PhD, LP Featured
“I’m exhausted—but the moment I lie down, my mind won’t stop.”
If that resonates, you're in good company—I hear it every day from high-achieving clients whose sleep has become yet another thing they can’t solve.
Whether it’s difficulty falling asleep, waking at 3 a.m., or feeling drained despite a full night in bed, I specialize in helping driven individuals recalibrate their sleep using CBT-I—the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for insomnia. With over a decade of advanced clinical experience, I help clients restore true rest so they can perform, lead, and live with clarity.
My practice offers discreet, flexible care via secure telehealth in 40+ states, with limited in-person availability. You’ll receive personalized, results-driven support—without waitlists, insurance hoop ...

I have 10+ years experience working as a psychotherapist in the NHS and private practice and I specialise in sleep-related problems.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). There is scientific research that supports the use of these approaches for a variety of problems. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and want to take time to understand your unique circumstances before suggesting treatment. I will usually complete an initial assessment with you to work out your difficulties and goals, and then spend some time formulating a bespoke treatment plan which I will share with you.
My qualifications include:
-CBT-I trained for the treatment of Insomnia
-CBT & ACT therapy (BABCP acc ...

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist based in Newport Beach, California, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). I work with adults struggling with chronic insomnia, sleep anxiety, nighttime overthinking, stress-related sleep disruption, and persistent sleep difficulties. I offer in-person services in Newport Beach and telehealth throughout California.
What sets my practice apart is the integration of gold-standard CBT-I with psychotherapy. In addition to helping clients change the thoughts and behaviors that maintain insomnia, I help them address the stress, anxiety, and life transitions that can contribute to hyperarousal and interfere with restful sleep.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and highly individualized. I tailor evidence-based CBT ...

Let's face it. You've probably tried it all: mindfullness practices, reading self-help books, taking melatonin, using prescribed sleep medication, maybe you've even enlisted Chat-GPT. Some of it's worked, maybe for awhile. But today, your sleep is not where you'd like it to be. You're still fatigued, drowsy, and generally dreading attempting to sleep tonight.
Let's change this. Since you're here, you probably have heard of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), you might even know that it is the first line recommended treatment for Insomnia (due to the strong research evidence supporting it's effectiveness and safety). CBT-i can help you change your relationship with sleep so that the struggle is stopped and sleep can become your friend. You can wake up feeling rested and ...

Helping you sleep better is my passion. I've practiced evidenced-based treatment for sleep disorders for over 10 years. As an adjunct professor at Smith College for Social Work, I taught CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) to psychologists and CBT itself to social work students. Through CBT-I, I'll help you to build tools to overcome sleep problems and the related challenges you may face. Many people are burdened with anxiety about sleeping and feel anxious that poor sleep affects their work or relationships. Let's work together to reduce your worry. We'll understand your sleep patterns and collaboratively develop goals.
Licensed in both New York and Massachusetts, I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Tufts, Harvard Pilgrim, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Wellpoint/Unicare.

I am a psychotherapist focusing on the treatment of adults with sleep problems as well as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stressors, and other mental health concerns that commonly coincide with sleep symptoms. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) independently as well as in conjunction with other therapies to meet individual client needs. Services are currently via telehealth to clients who reside in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Vermont.
I found my way to treating sleep issues when I had the opportunity to take a long-term clinical training in CBT-Insomnia. Like many of the therapies I utilize, once I began treating clients it became a joy to witness how significantly their circumstances improved as the result of this short-term therapy. I prioritize taking ...

Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to worry about sleep? To know that you can fall asleep within a reasonable amount of time. And to just do a couple of things to prepare yourself, lay your head on the pillow, turn off the light, close your eyes and fall asleep? To wake up feeling like a million dollars, looking forward to the day ahead, feeling happy and refreshed.
I use a combined approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia / CBT-I and Hypnosis to improve your sleep and stop Insomnia in its tracks! Some people are not comfortable with Hypnosis or don’t want it as part of their treatment. That’s perfectly fine with me. It’s truly your choice.
Whether you choose me or someone else, people who decide to do CBT-I improve their sleep in 3-6 sessions typically. I want you to slee ...

Do you ever feel like bedtime isn't a relief, but a punishment? Like you're walking toward the gallows instead of toward rest?
Do you wake up in the middle of the night, stare at the ceiling, and mutter—"Not again"?
Maybe you've tried the teas, the blackout curtains, the apps, the influencers' rituals. And yet… still awake.
If so, you're in good company. I've specialized in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for over 10 years, and I've seen this exact pattern hundreds of times—in clients who now sleep soundly.
Renowned clinical psychologist, Marsha Linehan, once said that when we're distressed, we really only have three choices: change the way we think, change the way we act, or remain utterly miserable. And if you've struggled with insomnia for any length of time ...
