About John
Dr. John Allmond is a North Carolina psychologist (NC Psychologist 4234) with 15 years of professional experience.

He uses practical, goal-oriented methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on small, doable steps forward. He draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness tools to help people manage emotions and relationships.
Dr. Allmond treats people from varied backgrounds and life situations. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. He encourages people to notice what works for them and build on existing strengths.
In therapy he helps people make sense of patterns that get in the way and try different ways of responding. That may include learning skills for anxiety or mood management, practicing communication strategies for close relationships, or using mindfulness to improve sleep and focus.
His practice is based in North Carolina and sessions are conducted in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to talk about goals and next steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can teach clear, practical skills for anxiety, low mood, sleep, and daily routines. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In virtual sessions this can mean learning short skills you can practice between meetings to manage intense feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape interactions; it can help people who want different outcomes in their romantic or intimate relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He discusses options with each person and chooses or combines methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
The exact online session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets sessions focus on real-life situations that come up between meetings, so skills can be practiced and reviewed during follow-ups.
