Online Mindfulness Therapist for Controlling Agoraphobia and Social Anxiety Disorder without relying on medications.


Talk to a Therapist Online over Skype for highly effective online help and psychotherapy for overcoming Agoraphobia, Chronic Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Anxiety Disorder.


If you want to recover effectively from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying conditioned anxiety reactions. 


Prescription medications don’t address this. Medications only provide a temporary relief from anxiety symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.  


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


Online therapy is very effective 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 good psychotherapy.


Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for treating Agoraphobia


One of the most effective ways of overcoming the intense anxiety reactions of agoraphobia is through training in Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia. 


Effective strategies for the management of agoraphobia will involve some form of Exposure Therapy, but what make Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy particularly effective is that it involves training with the anxiety reactions before you do your exposure challenges. 


Repeated exposures by themselves is not likely to have much beneficial effect, but if you train yourself to neutralize your anxiety reactions before each challenge then the results from each challenge will be very much better.


The method used to neutralize your anxiety reactions is called Focused Mindfulness Meditation, where you deliberately play through the challenge in your mind in order to access the anxiety and then neutralize that anxiety through changing your relationship to the anxiety through the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy that I will be teaching you during our sessions together.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy via Skype for anxiety and depression and particularly for the treatment of agoraphobia. So if you're looking for agoraphobia therapy online I invite you to go to my website. Read more about this online therapy service that I offer hand please contact me if you would like to schedule some Skype Therapy sessions with me to help you overcome your agoraphobia. 


So if you are suffering from agoraphobia it is essential that you are able to find an online therapist to work with simply because it's so difficult for you to leave home. And there are a number of services now offering online psychotherapy for the treatment of agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders too. 


Whether you choose me or someone else, the important thing is that you find a therapist to work with who uses Skype or similar video platform because it's very important that you can see each other. That will improve the quality of communication and the quality of the therapy that you are getting. 


The other thing is make sure that you feel completely comfortable with the therapist that you select. Make sure that they answer your questions about the therapist's approach and trust your own judgment, your own intuition. That is by far the best guide, much more so than how many letters the therapist has after his name. What's important is that you feel comfortable with the therapist and you like the approach that they are offering. 


So in the style of agoraphobia therapy that I offer is based on the application of mindfulness. Mindfulness Therapy is a very effective way of working with anxiety disorders like agoraphobia. It also helps you manage panic attacks and any other aspect of anxiety that's causing you distress and that are limiting the quality of your life. 


So in Mindfulness Therapy the primary approach that we take is called Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy, and that is where you will basically design a series of challenges with my help so that you can begin to train yourself out of the anxiety habits. 


So in mindfulness training we teach that suffering like anxiety and depression is basically an emotional habit. It is the result of conditioning. This habit formation gets started, often in childhood, and it never gets resolved. And this anxiety shows up in different forms different types of anxiety such as agoraphobia or social anxiety or a phobia or panic attacks or driving anxiety, etc. 


 So the first stage is to set up a schedule of exposure challenges. And then what is most important is to train using mindfulness for each challenge that you schedule. Exposure therapy by itself is not sufficient. You must train with the anxiety beforehand. 


 So we do this by a technique called Rehearsal Meditation, whereby you imagine doing that challenge in order to find the anxiety and then you start working with that anxiety using mindfulness and compassion. 


 You look at the structure of the anxiety, you find out how it works. You look at the patterns of reactive thoughts that feed that anxiety and you begin to change your relationship to the anxiety formation. You start to break free from its influence by becoming more and more aware of it, more conscious of the thoughts and the emotion. The basic rule here is that the more you see, the less fear you will experience. That may seem counter-intuitive but it's actually the case. Fear is based on what you don't see much more than what you do see.


So we do this in great detail with the challenge in our imagination before we do the challenge. That's why it's called a Rehearsal Meditation. When you can visualize doing that challenge, whatever it might be, perhaps just walking around the block or driving in the car, if you can do that, whatever it might be, when you feel that you can do that with the complete absence of anxiety then you do the live challenge, the exposure challenge, and your training that you did in the Rehearsal Meditation will take effect and will effectively inhibit any anxiety reactions during the challenge. 


And when you take this approach you'll start to see dramatic improvements in a very short time. Typically, most of my clients see quite dramatic changes after three to four weeks of doing this kind of progressive exposure challenge using mindfulness.

How to overcome agoraphobia through Online Mindfulness Therapy


Online Psychotherapist for treating Agoraphobia via Skype


Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of agoraphobia. So if you're looking for online psychotherapy for agoraphobia, then I do ask you to visit my website and learn more about this online service that I offer via Skype and then feel free to email me using the contact page to ask any questions you may have about this online psychotherapy approach for treating agoraphobia. 


So Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I specialize in and have developed specifically for treating agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders, is extremely effective. It works in a very strategic and focused way on helping you resolve the fear reactions, the anxiety and panic attacks, that are a feature of agoraphobia. 


So the primary approach that I will be teaching you is called Mindfulness-based. Exposure Therapy. So all forms of successful psychotherapy for treating agoraphobia will employ some form of exposure therapy. Clearly that is a necessary component to help you extend the range of confidence that you have, to be able to move into areas that were previously very difficult for you, to move into different social situations and to leave your comfort zone and develop a much broader level of comfort. This is a necessary approach. 


So we work by extending the boundaries of our comfort zone and we do this by developing a systematic approach, that is, that you will design a series of challenges to go to your comfort zone and move a little bit beyond that comfort zone on a daily basis. 


But the important thing here that I teach in the mindfulness-based approach to exposure therapy is preparing before you do each challenge. I feel this is what is often missing. Simply throwing yourself into difficult and anxiety producing situations is not very efficient and probably not very effective for most people. You have to train yourself out of the habitual anxiety reactions before you do each of the challenges and that's the focus of mindfulness therapy and the mindfulness-based exposure therapy. 


So you set up a series of challenges and then we do the training. So the training is about meditating on each of those challenges. You start off by playing the challenge through in your mind in order to find those anxiety reactions. You want to get access to them under your terms so that you can work with them consciously rather than trying to struggle with them in the heat of the moment during the challenge.

Online Therapist for Agoraphobia - Psychotherapy via Skype


Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and also for agoraphobia. 


So if you are interested and getting help to overcome your agoraphobia, then you might consider seeing an online therapist like myself. I have made it a mission to try and provide effective practical ways of working with the anxiety and panic attacks associated with agoraphobia, and that's why I offer this online therapy service. 


The central method that we use is called mindfulness-based exposure therapy. As you will undoubtedly understand by now, it is extremely important that you not fall into the trap of avoidance. You must face your anxiety and face those situations that trigger that anxiety, but you must do it in a strategic way with appropriate training.


So if you want to be successful with exposure therapy, you need to take a strategic approach with a lot of training, and so this is the theory behind mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia. 


We start by setting up a series of challenges and then we work through each challenge in a systematic way starting with easy challenges and progressing to harder challenges. But the important thing is that you do each challenge well and that you reach your goal of being able to do that charge without being overwhelmed by anxiety. 


The primary way we go about doing this is through mindfulness meditation. We meditate on that challenge. You play it through in the mind. And we watch for the anxiety reactions. When we find an anxiety reaction, we respond to it with mindfulness.


One of the first things we learn is to work with is the outer structure of the anxiety, which is in the form of reactive thoughts. These are conditioned habitual reactive thoughts that get triggered when you encounter the situation, the particular triggers in that challenge. They get triggered from conditioning and then produce an anxiety reaction. 


So we need to work with those thoughts because the thoughts are a very important part of the structure of anxiety. Thoughts do not cause anxiety, that is a common misconception, but thoughts are a very powerful fuel source that feeds anxiety and increases its intensity. 


So we learn to work mindfully with those thoughts. We learn to not identify with those thoughts. We learn to see them as objects. And not become lost in that series of habitual thoughts.


So we find each emotional reaction and we help it heal by the quality of our relationship to it, developing more compassion and more consciousness. 


Then we replay the scene in our mind of the challenge and look for other anxiety reactions and other triggers. We work with those in the same way until we can go through the entire challenge in our mind without anxiety. Then after this training period, which may be half an hour of meditation before the challenge, we then go and do the challenge and we put it into practice. 


We put the training into practice. We recognize the anxiety it arises. And the training will help it resolve during the challenge. 


We then meditate after the challenge on any fresh anxiety that did not resolve. So we train with that anxiety and help it resolve in the same way. 


And after that we repeat the charge again. And we keep cycling through meditating before the challenge. Doing the challenge. Meditating after the challenge. Taking a break and then repeating until we can do the challenge with zero anxiety. 


So this is a brief introduction to mindfulness-based therapy for agoraphobia. If you would like to talk to an online therapist like myself for help overcoming your agoraphobia, then please reach out to me by email and lets schedule a Skype therapy session. 


Most people see results very quickly when they take this strategic and very in-depth approach to working with anxiety. So you can expect and you should expect to see significant changes within three to four sessions. And then when you start to apply these methods yourself you will continue that progress and eventually you will get to that position where you do not feel overwhelmed by anxiety or panic attacks. 


So that is our firm commitment. Our firm goal in Mindfulness Therapy it is not to tolerate or manage anxiety, it is to eliminate it. It is to heal it. So if you'd like to get started please contact me.
