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.

So, online therapy is a very good option indeed for treating anxiety and depression and other common emotional problems that basically are the result of habitual reactive thinking. 

So, anxiety is a classic example of this, where we become, essentially, identified with patterns of reactive thinking that proliferates and feeds the underlying anxiety. So, technically anxiety thoughts don't cause anxiety but they do feed the emotion of anxiety. So learning to work with reactive thoughts is a very important part of overcoming anxiety. 

I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly focused on helping you control habitual reactive thoughts.

Online Psychotherapy for Anxiety via Skype

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.

How to Overcome Anxiety Without using Anti-anxiety medications 

How to Overcome Anxiety without Medication through Online Mindfulness Therapy

Visit my Contact Page to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

So I'm often asked, "How can I overcome my anxiety without using medication?" And the answer is medication is not going to change the underlying cause of your anxiety. Medications are designed solely to reduce symptoms, and they can have the place as a temporary measure, but you have to correct the underlying psychological cause if you want to break free from anxiety and panic attacks and OCD and other forms of anxiety disorder. 

All anxiety disorders are caused by underlying psychological habits. So this habit is a psychological process that is triggered by various factors. That might be external triggers. For example, in a phobia there are very specific external triggers; driving anxiety is very common and that's triggered by certain road conditions. It could be health anxiety, which is triggered by a visit to see a doctor or the anticipation of going to see a doctor, and so on. 

External triggers are one big factor for many people. But there are also internal triggers in the form of thoughts and beliefs and memories and other cognitive content. 

So whatever the trigger is, it's what is triggered that's important. It's not effective to try and avoid external or internal triggers, that is not going to help in the long run. You have to change that underlying psychological habit that gets triggered. And we do this in Mindfulness Therapy by looking at the relationship that you have to the emotions that get triggered, the anxiety, and to the triggers themselves. So we work with both of these and learn how to break free from that, essentially, unconscious habitual reaction to these triggers. The most important thing how to break that unconscious habit. 

We do this by actually focusing conscious awareness on those triggers whether they're external or internal using mindfulness meditation. So, mindfulness meditation is simply a way of breaking free from habits of the mind that cause emotional suffering. There are many styles of meditation, of course, and many interpretations of what meditation means. But in this context when we are talking about mindfulness meditation we are learning how to free the mind from suffering. 

So we learn how to work with the internal triggers and the external triggers by meditating on them, by imagining them and then looking for the emotion that gets triggered, and then helping to heal that emotion, helping to neutralize it through a number of mindfulness techniques that I will teach you. And I will teach you how to meditate on your emotions and how to free yourself from these emotional habits during our Skype Therapy sessions. 

One of the key things we focus on is neutralizing reactivity to those triggers. It's habitual as I've been saying, and habit thrives on blind unconscious reactivity. So by simply the process of developing more and more conscious awareness around the triggers you will be be able to break free from them to a greater and greater extent until those triggers are no longer effective at triggering anxiety. 

So that's one big area of mindfulness therapy. The problem for most people is that they do not bring conscious awareness to their triggers. They simply cultivate avoidance or aversion towards those triggers. They run away from them. They try to suppress them. They try to escape the emotional pain. But as you will know, that will not work. Any form of avoidance will simply make the problem worse. Any form of aversion or suppression of your emotions will simply strengthen them. 

So we not only develop more consciousness but we also develop this quality of friendliness or compassion towards those emotions themselves. And this greatly accelerates the process of healing for emotional pain of all kinds, but especially for anxiety and fear. 

Another thing that we explore during mindfulness therapy is the imagery of the emotions that get triggered. And we look at changing this imagery, how you see the emotion in the mind, and helping them resolve in that way, because when you change the imagery of an emotion you change the emotion. 

If you'd like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety without using medications and you would like to learn how to heal anxiety by using mindfulness therapy which I offer online via Skype, then please contact me so we can schedule a Skype therapy session for overcoming your anxiety.
