Getting to know Dr. Pichit Thanupakorn

I am Dr. Pichit Thanupakorn ("Dr. T"), a Duke-trained, board-eligible psychiatrist providing 100% virtual psychiatric and sleep medicine care. My practice bridges the gap between biological sleep restoration and comprehensive mental health care, because healing the mind starts with healing the night. My Approach to Care Behind almost every severe case of anxiety, depression, or burnout is a fractured foundation of sleep. Rather than masking symptoms with temporary fixes, I focus on identifying the root drivers of your sleeplessness and emotional distress. I provide unhurried, personalized telepsychiatry that treats the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. For patients who desire it, I also offer optional Christian faith-integrated psychotherapy (ACT, CBT) alongside evidence-based medical care. Clinical Specialties *Behavioral Sleep Medicine & CBT-I: Gold-standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to retrain your brain to sleep naturally. *Comprehensive Psychiatry: Conservative, evidence-based medication management and psychotherapy for Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar II, and Adult ADHD. *CPAP Support & Optimization: Diagnostic Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT), CPAP setting management, and behavioral desensitization for CPAP mask anxiety and claustrophobia. Important Practice Boundaries To protect long-term sleep architecture and brain health, I do not prescribe long-term daily benzodiazepines or opioids. For adult ADHD, recent formal neuropsychological testing from a licensed psychologist is required for stimulant prescribing. As a virtual clinic, I do not treat acute psychiatric crises requiring emergency care.
