How online therapy and focused approaches work together

Dr. Allmond commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that worsen mood or anxiety and testing new, healthier responses. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in tense moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging offer brief check-ins and written tools. These options let people use therapy during work breaks, while traveling, or when scheduling constraints are tight.
