Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders. I also treat depression online and I offer addiction counseling online, as well.
The psychotherapy that I offer is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly effective for treating the underlying cause of anxiety and other emotional states like depression and OCD.
When we are working with anxiety, we need to not just talk about our emotions as in conventional "talk therapy", but we need to look at the underlying process, the process of reactive habitual thinking that creates the anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy focuses very closely on identifying these patterns of negative thoughts that generate anxiety, depression or addictions.
When we find these thoughts, we then begin the process of changing how they affect us. We do this mostly by the process of developing conscious awareness of those thoughts themselves. A thought only has power if operates habitually, out of awareness, and this is what we overcome during Mindfulness Therapy.
If you can develop conscious awareness of those reactive thoughts, then they are not able to convert into the emotion. It's like, the same as a car, if you place the car in neutral, that car can no longer move, no matter how much you press the accelerator. It's the same with reactive thoughts, they only have power if we are unaware of them and if we become identified with them, and we become overwhelmed by them, lost in those thoughts.
The second part of Mindfulness Therapy for treating anxiety disorders involves looking at the actual structure of the emotion underneath the reactive thoughts. What is the nature of that emotion? What is the internal imagery that holds that emotional imagery together?
For example, if an emotion is very intense, then the chances are that your internal picture of that emotion will be very large and very close. That's what you see internally and that's what you react to through over-thinking, or that's what your body also reacts to in the flight-or-fight type response.
When we can find this internal imagery, we can change it, using mindfulness to explore detailed changes that we can make that produce changes in the emotion. In this way we can actually reprogram that emotion, we can change it totally, we can defuse it, so that it doesn't get triggered. When we neutralize the emotion, then the reactive thinking begins to change also, because there is nothing fueling that reactive thinking.
So, these are two of the focuses of online Mindfulness Therapy that I offer via Skype.

So if you're looking for an online therapist to help you overcome anxiety, I invite you to take a look at my website and learn more about the online Mindfulness Therapy service that I offer over Skype for the treatment of anxiety without using medications and without other procedures like that.
This is a very different kind of approach, one that focuses on teaching you how to work with your emotions more effectively using the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy, including mindfulness meditation.
So the way that I teach meditation is that you learn how to meditate on the mind and in this case on your emotions and specifically on your anxiety. You have to develop a very close and conscious relationship with your emotions if you want them to heal. The biggest problem that I see is that people try to run away from their anxiety and fear. Trying to avoid anxiety and trying to escape from anxiety producing situations is not a good strategy.
The avoidance is classified as a form of reactivity, emotional reactivity that is itself based on fear. And so if you react to anxiety with avoidance, you are basically feeding that underlying anxiety with more fear. So avoidance is not a suitable strategy.
Medications also can be viewed as a form of avoidance. They may provide a temporary relief from the unpleasant sensations of anxiety, but that is not an effective treatment for anxiety. The medications are really just reinforcing that underlying anxiety.
So if you want to heal anxiety, you must work on developing a conscious relationship with that anxiety that's not based on avoidance, but is based on being totally consciously present with that emotion and other associated emotions.
This is what I will teach you during our therapy sessions together. I will teach you how to develop a mindful presence with your anxiety. In that process you will be training out of the primary process of reactive identification that also feeds the anxiety.
You learn to be present with your anxiety without becoming identified with it. That means without becoming overwhelmed and consumed by that anxiety. We learn how to develop a conscious presence with our anxiety in which we remain free from that anxiety.
So this is an essential condition if you want to heal anxiety, you have to learn how to be present for your anxiety in the same way as a parent learns to be present with a child that's suffering. You cannot avoid the child's pain, you must be present with it if you want to help that child heal its suffering. Our emotions are very much like a child. They are conditioned, they are very limited in the consciousness and are not very good at resolving their own suffering, just like a child, the child doesn't have the resources to heal its own suffering. That's what the parent is for. So we have to learn to be like a parent to our anxiety and to any other emotions that are causing suffering.
And this is the whole purpose of meditation.
Meditation means learning to be present with your anxiety by focusing your mindful attention on that anxiety and then bringing in the qualities of fearlessness and love, which is the natural condition of your True Self.
You learn to comfort the anxiety, you learn to look at the structure of the anxiety and see how it works, and then you intervene in a way that helps that anxiety heal.
So building this internal relationship between your True Self and the anxiety or the Little Self is a vital process and it's very, very effective for healing anxiety. And I will teach you how to do this in detail.
Most people see quite dramatic changes when they start applying mindfulness and particularly this form of mindfulness meditation on the anxiety itself. Typically, you can expect to see dramatic improvements after the first three or four sessions. This is what we should be aiming for. Psychotherapy should be aimed at helping you heal. Just talking about your emotions is not sufficient, in my opinion, to promote efficient long-term healing. You must look at the underlying mechanism of that imagery and the patterns of reactivity and identification that feeds anxiety.
So if you would like to make real changes and produce long-term changes in your anxiety or other emotions that are affecting you in some way, then do please contact me and we can schedule some Skype therapy sessions. Thank you.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder Colorado and I offer online psychotherapy for anxiety via Skype.
So if you're interested in learning more about online therapy for treating anxiety disorders, whether that's generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, or if you have a problem with recurrent panic attacks, or if you suffer from driving anxiety disorder or a phobia in general, then please go to my website and learn more about this online psychotherapy service that I offer.
If you're interested in online psychotherapy you should check that the therapist is able to provide sessions via Skype. I believe it's essential that you are able to see each other as well as speak to each other, because this greatly improves the effectiveness of communication. And that's a very important fact when you're working with difficult emotional conditions like anxiety and panic attacks or depression, or even for work with addiction.
Many people like online therapy because it's clearly more convenient. And if you're living abroad or in a rural area you might find it difficult to find a local therapist that you want to work with.
People like the greater privacy also offered by online psychotherapy. It means that you can conduct your sessions from home and in the privacy of your own environment. And that's quite important for a lot of people. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable talking about our emotional problems. If it's an addiction it's often very difficult to talk about that in a more public setting. Being able to talk about your anxiety online is much less intimidating for most people. So that's one of one of the additional benefits of online therapy via Skype.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy and this is a particular approach that I developed many years ago now that has proven to be incredibly effective for helping people manage anxiety disorders.
It's a technique that uses mindfulness. Mindfulness is simply a way of focusing conscious attention on emotions and on thoughts and memories and other components of the mind. It's a way of becoming conscious without becoming overwhelmed or consumed or lost in anxiety or depression or any other emotional formation.
We have to build a conscious relationship with our emotions. That is an absolute requirement for them to change, in my opinion. Talking about your anxiety can provide temporary relief but it's seldom as good as actually building an internal relationship with your anxiety in which you spend more time, if you like, listening to it rather than reacting to it or trying to explain it away or trying to understand it. All of these forms of cognitive processing are really taking you away from the emotion itself.
We create a safe space around our anxiety and we begin to explore how that anxiety works. One of the most important things we first focus on is the constellation of reactive thoughts that feeds that anxiety.
So anxiety tends to lead to proliferation of anxiety-based thinking. And this in turn feeds the underlying anxiety and creates this vicious feedback loop that stops the anxiety healing. So the first part of mindfulness is all about learning to see these reactive thoughts and breaking the unconscious habits of becoming lost in those thoughts. So we're not indulging the anxiety. Instead with simply creating a conscious and non-reactive relationship with it.
The second thing that we focus on in great detail during Mindfulness Therapy is looking at the internal imagery of the emotion. And this might be a new concept to you, but if you think about it you will begin to realize that all emotions are based around imagery.
So if you'd like to learn more about online psychotherapy via Skype for your anxiety do please email me and tell me more about how I can help you. And then when you feel ready we can schedule a session.
You will see in the very first session just how powerful this approach can be and most people see changes after the very first session, when you start applying the mindfulness methods that I'll teach you on how to work with your anxiety.
So please contact me if you'd like to get started.

Medications may provide temporary relief from the intense emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks but medications do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety. That underlying cause is mostly a product of unresolved emotional trauma and habitual reactive thinking that feeds the anxiety. We must change these causes to successfully recover from anxiety and panic attacks as well as depression and other forms of emotional suffering.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist based in Colorado and I specialize in mindfulness therapy which I offer online for the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, and PTSD (that's one of my particular interests) and many other psychological emotional-problems that are caused by reactive habitual thinking or unresolved emotional trauma.
If you would like to learn how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks through online therapy and you would like to learn how to overcome anxiety disorders without using medications, then please go to my website and learn more about online mindfulness therapy. In my opinion this is one of the most effective ways of treating anxiety without using medication.
It works on changing the underlying cause of your anxiety and panic attacks, as well as depression or other emotional conditions. That underlying cause is what needs to be transformed and healed if you want to really recover from anxiety or panic attacks.
Medications don't treat anxiety and panic attacks. They only relieve symptoms and that symptom relief is short term. It's just a bandaid. It's not really changing the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety or panic attacks.
So, in mindfulness therapy we recognize that the key to overcoming any emotional suffering is to actually develop a conscious and friendly relationship with your emotional pain. Your biggest enemies are avoidance and aversion. When there is avoidance, that basically causes the anxiety to get bigger. When there is aversion, that causes you to get smaller in relationship to your anxiety.
So this is why we understand in mindfulness teachings the importance of friendliness or love, because when you relate to emotional suffering with love you get bigger and the emotion gets smaller, it actually starts to heal itself, when that relationship is well established.
So, the path to healing anxiety and panic attacks, also depression and other forms of emotional trauma, is to build a very strong friendly and non-reactive relationship with those underlying emotions. When you do that you create the right internal conditions that promote healing, and that healing is a natural process that is built in to the anxiety or the depression. It is already trying to heal itself to come back to equilibrium. Unfortunately we tend to get in the way of the natural healing through reactivity such as avoidance and aversion.
So, if you'd like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks without medication, please go to my website and then email me and let's schedule a Skype Therapy session, and you will see for yourself just how effective mindfulness therapy can be for healing anxiety and depression. Thank you.
