Online Therapy can be a very good choice for treating difficult emotional disorders like agoraphonia where it is so difficult to travel to see a therapist in-person. I also work a lot with people struggling with a driving phobia for the same reasons.

In general, online therapy works very well for most people, but it is recommended that you use Skype or Zoom so that you can see each other. I do not recommend chat or email based online therapy because there is no substitute for seeing each other - but that does not have to be in-person.

I am based in Colorado, but this service is available for anyone with an internet connection and who prefers to do psychotherapy online.

This is not a medical treatment but an alternative approach using mindfulness methods, and it works extremely well. We employ Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for treating agoraphobia, and most of my clients see major improvements after 3-4 sessions.

Best treatment for agoraphobia without drugs

Online Mindfulness Therapist for Stopping Agoraphobia without using antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications

Speak with a Therapist Online through Skype for effective online help and therapy for overcoming Agoraphobia, Chronic Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Anxiety Disorder.

If you want to recover fully from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying habitual anxiety reactions. 

Medications don’t do this. Medications only treat symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.  

During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on neutralizing these habitual reactions directly at the psychological level. This approach is very effective and most people see significant improvements after 3-4 Skype sessions.

Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy as long as you use Skype, FaceTime or Zoom so that you can see each other. Being able to see each other is required for good communication and effective psychotherapy.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist and I offer mindfulness-based online psychotherapy for agoraphobia, anxiety disorders and panic attacks. 

The mindfulness approach is extremely effective and during online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your agoraphobic anxiety using the techniques of mindfulness to help you prevent your becoming overwhelmed by the anxiety reactions. We do this by actually meditating on our anxiety before we do any challenges. 

Meditating helps to change the relationship that you have with your anxiety and this is absolutely essential, because the biggest problem that I encounter is that people suffering from anxiety tend to become identified with their emotions. They tend to become consumed by their emotions. They effectively lose their identity and become the emotions and this creates a very reactive place that is very difficult to escape from. 

So with mindfulness training you can change this pattern and learn to develop a relationship with your anxiety whereby you do not become identified with it where you can see the anxiety as an observer. This is essential for change. Once you begin to do this the rate of recovery from agoraphobic anxiety and panic attacks increases dramatically, and most people will see quite substantial changes after only four or five sessions with me once they start applying the mindfulness-based techniques. 

So the basic idea is that you will schedule sessions with me and we will work on setting up a series of challenges that you can manage and then you prepare for these challenges using mindfulness meditation. You do that challenge and you meditate on any anxiety that arose during that challenge. And each time we learn a little more about how to change our relationship to our anxiety so that we basically break free from the habit of identification and becoming overwhelmed by it. And this approach is, from my experience, the most effective there is for overcoming agoraphobic anxiety. So if you'd like to get started with me simply go to my website and then email me to schedule a Skype therapy session with me.

Online Help for Agoraphobia over Skype

Email me to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy, and I provide online help for agoraphobia. Many people suffering from agoraphobia find it very difficult to leave home or leave a secure area where they feel comfortable and so the online therapy option is very convenient and sometimes essential. 

So I've been offering online help for people suffering from agoraphobia for about ten years now and it works extremely well. The online therapy sessions are organized via Skype and all you need is an internet connection and we can set up a Skype Therapy session to help you learn how to manage the anxiety and panic attacks associated with your agoraphobia. 

During sessions I will teach you a practical mindfulness-based methods of working with agoraphobia that have being well tested and have proved very effective over the last ten years or so that I've been offering this service. 

The most important thing that you will learn is how to change the way that you relate to your emotions and to your thoughts. 

The biggest problem for most people is that as soon as anxiety or fear gets triggered that they become completely overwhelmed by that emotional reaction, and that identification with emotion leads to the proliferation of reactive thinking which then feeds the underlying fear and anxiety. So this produces a perfect storm, essentially, a feedback mechanism that reinforces the fear and prevents it healing and resolving, and this is what we attempt to change during mindfulness therapy sessions for agoraphobia. 

If this interests you then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service and then contact me and we can schedule a therapy session over Skype to help you overcome your agoraphobia.

Mindfulness-based Online Help for Agoraphobia

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder Colorado, but I offer online psychotherapy via Skype for anxiety disorders and for the treatment of depression and also for the treatment of agoraphobia. So many people like the idea of working with an online therapist to overcome agoraphobia. It means that you can have your sessions at home, which is an important consideration if you are afraid of leaving home in the first place. 

So online therapy for agoraphobia is a way of getting the help that you need to overcome this anxiety disorder. 

So I offer mindfulness based help for agoraphobia, and this is very different than conventional talk therapy and it actually helps you work with your emotions directly yourself. It teaches you how to change that habit of becoming identified with your emotional reactions, with your fear, anxiety or panic attacks. 

The biggest problem that most people suffering from anxiety or depression have to deal with this problem of habitual reactive identification. This is where we simply become consumed by the emotion, we become overwhelmed by it, we become a prisoner of that emotional reaction. And this is a habit. This is a psychological habit. We become conditioned to identify with the emotion in that way and it operates unconsciously. 

So in mindfulness therapy we work on making it conscious. We actually work on making the anxiety much more conscious so that we can build a conscious relationship with the anxiety and learn to break this habit of reactive identification. So you can hold the anxiety in the mind as an object and not become identified with it and not become consumed by it. That is very important, if not is totally essential part of recovery from any anxiety disorder, including agoraphobia. 

One of the things that we look at in great detail also, is the imagery of your emotions. So the imagery is what actually creates the emotion, the anxiety. This imagery typically is going to be very large, is going to be very close and probably all consuming. It is going to be overwhelming because it is very large in size. 

That imagery, the size of the emotion, is what actually makes the emotion work. When we actually get to see the imagery consciously using mindfulness we can then exercise choice. We can begin to explore changing this habitual imagery. 

And the rule is when you change the imagery you change the emotion. 

The other very important principle of mindfulness based therapy is learning how to hold the anxiety and overcome the habit of reacting to the anxiety. 

So we usually react with aversion. You do not like the unpleasant feelings associated with anxiety so we try to push it away. We try to avoid it. We try to distract ourselves from it in any way we can. But the rule here is, any form of reactivity will simply feed the anxiety. It will not help it heal or resolve itself. 

The other part of the mindfulness based approach to healing Anxiety and Agoraphobia is to take on deliberate challenges. Exposure therapy, in a sense. But mindfulness based exposure therapy is much more effective than classical exposure therapy. 

So this is where you will set up a schedule of small challenges that typically would create anxiety but then you work on training yourself ahead of each challenge using mindfulness to find the emotion that gets case triggered and then to help it heal by doing things like changing its size, changing its imagery and changing your relationship to that anxiety that gets triggered in that situation. 

So if you'd like to learn more about the mindfulness based approach to healing anxiety and you'd like help with your agoraphobia then please contact me by email and let's schedule a therapy session via Skype. 

The mindfulness based approach is very, very effective and very focused in its approach. And generally people see quite noticeable changes in a relatively short time. I usually say you should expect to see changes within three to four weeks when you start applying the mindfulness based techniques that I will teach you during the sessions and that we will practice together during sessions.
