Approaches that translate to online work

Dr. Allmond uses cognitive behavioral tools that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing routine behaviors. CBT often involves short exercises and homework that work well in remote sessions and help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress.

He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills training can be practiced in-session and then applied during daily life to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep sessions shorter when needed. They also allow people to practice skills in the contexts where problems actually occur, which many find helpful.
