Do you need an online therapist for anxiety? Would you like to talk to a therapist online to get help with your anxiety? Then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service that I offer via Skype.
So I specialize in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of all kinds of anxiety disorders, ranging from generalized anxiety disorder to social anxiety disorder including agoraphobia. I work a lot with obsessive compulsive disorder and in general the mindfulness approach is particularly effective for producing changes in quite a short time and typically people see substantial improvements after the first two to three sessions with me.
And this is because we focus on really changing the underlying process that causes your anxiety. This is quite different than conventional talk therapy or counseling. And it's certainly different than medical approaches that advocate the use of medications. I do not recommend medications for the treatment of anxiety disorders because medications do not treat the underlying condition. They do not change the underlying process that creates anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy does. It helps you change that underlying habitual process that produces anxiety and that underlying process is psychological in nature. It is basically a psychological habit.
So anxiety is primarily a habit. We learn anxiety, we are not born with anxiety. It is not developed out of nothing. It is a habit that is learned. We learn these habits quite naturally when we are exposed to emotional trauma, particularly in childhood that we're unable to process. When that's emotional trauma becomes stuck in the mind of suppressed then it becomes the seed that leads to the development of anxiety disorders.
However you don't have to go back to childhood to try and change emotional trauma in order to recover from anxiety disorders that you might be experiencing now. Whatever the cause of that habit, however it got established the place to change the habit is right now as it manifests itself in your present situation.
So Mindfulness Therapy allows you to change anxiety habits. And them the most important way that we go about changing the anxiety habit is by changing the quality of relationship that we have with our anxiety and other emotions.
So classically, the anxiety habit is sustained by levels of habitual reactivity to that anxiety. The habitual reactivity simply feeds the anxiety. And what is the main kind of reactivity that we encounter? It is primarily the reactive habit of avoidance and the reactive habit of aversion or hatred towards that anxiety.
If you react to your anxiety with either avoidance or aversion then you basically feed that anxiety and you prevent it from changing. So reactivity stops anxiety changing and it prevents that anxiety habit from changing.
So in mindfulness therapy we overcome this habit of reactivity to our anxiety or other painful emotional habits. We learn to develop a conscious and friendly relationship to our anxiety. This is the key method that produces change and allows the anxiety habit to resolve itself and become replaced by more positive emotional habits. So if you don't react to your fear or anxiety you don't feed it. So we learn to hold the anxiety in conscious mindful awareness without reacting to it. We put the emotion in neutral, in effect.
So we do this by meditating on our anxiety, or any other emotion for that matter. We hold it in awareness deliberately and learn how to sit with with that anxiety without becoming reactive, without becoming identified with it.
When we can do this then we effectively neutralize the anxiety. It takes a little bit of training, but not very much. It is quite surprising how quickly you can overcome the anxiety habit like any other habit when you start applying consciousness, when you start really sitting with your emotions without reacting to them. When you can do that then the habit starts to lose strength and begins to burn itself out.
So if you would like to get started with me with online therapy for anxiety and you like the idea of working with an online therapist like myself who specializes in mindfulness therapy, then please contact me and lets schedule an online therapy session.

Welcome. If you'd like to speak to a psychotherapist online via Skype I invite you to go to my website and learn more about online psychotherapy.
So being able to speak to an online psychotherapist for anxiety is particularly useful because usually if you're experiencing chronic anxiety you may find it rather difficult to leave home or go to see a therapist in an office. And the thought of medication and other treatment approaches might be rather intimidating.
So being able to speak to an online psychotherapist via Skype is much more convenient and much more comfortable for most people. And that's the approach that I really specialize in - providing an online therapy resource as a way of working with difficult emotions like anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety and also OCD.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called Mindfulness Therapy, and this is really a very effective way of learning how to manage difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to change the way that you relate to your emotions and also to your thoughts. We have to learn to form a relationship with our emotions in which we do not become overwhelmed or consumed by those emotions.
We need to be able to sit with those emotions, observe them, but not become overwhelmed by them. And this is what I will teach you during the online therapy sessions. I will teach you how to sit with your emotions without becoming overwhelmed, and this is a central theme in all Mindfulness Therapy.
The particular style of Mindfulness Therapy that I've developed some 20 years ago now is designed to help you not only form a stable relationship with your emotions but also to explore how to heal anxiety depression and other emotions. And this we do by developing a response based on compassion and friendliness with our emotions.
The typical habitual response that most people develop is that they try to avoid their anxiety or they try to avoid anxiety producing situations and they react with fear towards their anxiety or panic attacks.
So avoidance will not heal anxiety. It simply feeds the anxiety. And the same goes for developing aversion or fear towards your anxiety. If you react in any way to your anxiety it's only going to make it worse, basically.
So when we learn to sit with our anxiety we learn to to see that anxiety as a part of our self that needs our help and need support. We learn to see the anxiety as a part that is in need. And in fact we learn to approach our anxiety very much the same way that a parent would approach a child in need.
The anxiety is very much like a child in many ways. It is conditioned, it has limited ability to change itself and it requires the intervention of a larger entity, like a parent.
Well during mindfulness training, we learn to become that parent to our own emotions, and that is a central requirement for healing. We have to become a parents to our anxiety. When you can approach your anxiety like that then you will facilitate healing and make it much more likely that healing will occur.
So, if you like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy and you like the idea of being able to speak to an online psychotherapist for anxiety, do please go to my website. Learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach and please email me to schedule an online psychotherapy session for your anxiety. Thank you.

Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is one of the most successful psychotherapies available for overcoming anxiety disorders. It has elements of CBT but focuses much more on changing the actual process that creates anxiety and depression in the mind.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist offering Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty and which I talk about in my book, "The Path of Mindfulness Meditation."
If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety through mindfulness meditation, do please go to my website and learn more about this unique approach to overcoming anxiety.
Mindfulness Therapy is particularly effective for anxiety and also for depression, and this is because it teaches you how to change your relationship to your emotions and to your thoughts so that you don't become so easily overwhelmed by recurring patterns of emotional reactivity or intrusive thoughts.
This is the major problem that most people face - is what we often call "rumination" or "automatic reactive thinking" that triggers the underlying emotion of depression or anxiety.
Mindfulness allows us to break free from this automatic process by making it conscious. We begin to see the thoughts as triggers and the moment we see the process happening we can stop it right there and then through becoming conscious of that trigger.
With practice you can learn to see thoughts and emotional reactions as they arise in the mind, but then you are able to stop them turning into anxiety and depression. In this way, we take the fuel away from that underlying anxiety or depression. If you stop feeding the fire of anxiety or depression then the emotion will burn itself out and healing becomes possible.
During Mindfulness Therapy we learn how to actually meditate on our anxiety or depression or other painful emotions. And, it is through this process that you begin to change the whole process that creates the emotional suffering.
If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety or depression using Mindfulness Therapy, please go to my website and CONTACT ME and then we can schedule a therapy session over Skype.
Mindfulness Therapy works really well through online Skype therapy sessions. So, please go to my website and contact me. Thank you!

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado. I offer online therapy over Skype for working with anxiety and depression, addictions and many other common psychological problems that really benefit from the methods of Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I teach.
So people ask me all the time. Is it becoming more common now to do online therapy for anxiety or depression? And it is. More and more therapists are now offering online therapy because it makes it more available. And that's a great advantage. It gives you more choice to as a client. You can search online for the right therapist that you feel comfortable with and also to find someone who offers the right approach that resonates with you and your particular needs.
So online therapy is a very good option if you're looking for a non-medical treatment. And most people don't need medical treatment for their anxiety; they simply need to learn more effective ways of working with their anxiety and other emotions associated with anxiety.
So Mindfulness Therapy is one such approach and it is very effective indeed for really helping you heal the anxiety, changing the underlying cause of your anxiety, breaking free from that pattern of habitual reactivity that causes your anxiety.
Mindfulness training brings more and more consciousness to your anxiety so you see it more clearly, and when you can see it more clearly you're much more able to break free from those habitual reactive patterns which, of course, operate out of consciousness as all habits do.
So the first step in the Mindfulness Therapy approach is to develop a conscious relationship with your anxiety. Learning to see it more clearly and learning to break free from the reactivity that gets triggered in response to that anxiety.
So this is the first step, learning to see your anxiety clearly and then the second step is really responding to your anxiety with compassion and friendliness and the very qualities of mind that anxiety needs to heal. It cannot heal if we avoid it and it cannot heal if we react with hatred towards our anxiety and it cannot heal if we simply become lost in those habitual patterns of reactivity. But once we start developing a compassionate relationship with the emotion, itself, then we can greatly accelerate the rate of healing and recovery and resolution and freedom from these anxiety-producing habits.
So that's the main focus of Mindfulness Therapy and it is very effective and most of my clients see quite traumatic changes and improvements and reduction in the level of anxiety that they experience after the first three or four weeks working with me.
I see people once a week usually for about 60 minutes each session, that's usually sufficient. I don't believe you can do effective therapy under 60 Minutes. Sometimes I go to 90 minutes. It depends.
The focus of the online therapy that I offer is to work with your anxiety and actually do practical mindfulness work and exercises, including mindfulness meditation, during those sessions. The goal is to teach you methods that you can use yourself so that you don't become dependent on a therapist.
So if you would like to learn more about online therapy for anxiety, do please contact me and we can schedule a trial therapy session via Skype and you can see for yourself just how effective Mindfulness Therapy can be for allowing you to break free from the habits of anxiety. Thank you!
