In this study it will be delivered in four individual sessions as an adjunctive treatment to treatment as usual (TAU). CBT-I: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based insomnia treatment. In this study it will be delivered in four individual sessions. TAU: Treatment as Usual: All participants will be encouraged to begin or continue treatment of co-occurring conditions as recommended by treatment providers. This may include treatment within the primary care teams, through behavioral telehealth, and/or specialty outpatient mental health. Participants randomized to TAU may receive pharmacotherapy for insomnia, though CBT-I will be precluded until after the post-treatment assessments.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: post-treatment (~6-8 weeks)

A 21-item measure (with items ranging from 1-7) based on the theory of planned behavior and designed to assess beliefs about treatment and plans to engage in treatment in military populations. This measure will focus on engagement in PTSD and depression treatments. The total score has a range of 21-147 with higher scores indicating higher likelihood of engaging in care.
