Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Dr. Allmond uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict by teaching practical skills for better interactions and emotional connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, when emotion regulation and strong impulses are central concerns. DBT provides skills for tolerating distress, regulating intense feelings, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches give different tools that can be matched to what a person needs most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That way therapy can remain practical and focused on measurable steps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth, chat and text work well for brief updates or support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and allow people to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
