Online Psychotherapy for the treatment of anxiety via Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I provide online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression and many other common psychological problems that don't require medical treatment, that don't require medications, but can benefit from learning practical and effective strategies from managing the underlying reactive thinking and emotional reactivity that creates anxiety and depression. 

So if you're looking for an online therapist for anxiety I do encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service. It's very popular and people really like the idea of online therapy. It's much more comfortable for you. And it's less intimidating, it's less clinical in nature, and much more focused on what we really need to address, which is learning practical ways of working with our emotions. 

Now, I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly valuable for learning how to overcome anxiety and emotional reactivity in general. It allows us to break free from those underlying habits of reactivity that keep us in a state of suffering and prevent us from being who you want to be. 

In reality, these are just habits. anxiety and depression are best understood as being psychological habits rather than being psychological illnesses. They are habits that are conditioned. We don't come into the world with anxiety or depression. We learn anxiety and depression and fear and other forms of emotional suffering. We learn them, and that tells us right there that these are best looked at as being habits and habits can be changed once you start breaking free from that process of becoming automatically lost in your emotional reactivity or cognitive reactivity. 

This is the problem that we call "reactive identification" and that's really the heart of the problem, where anxiety or depression gets triggered and then we simply become overwhelmed by the anxiety and depression, we become consumed by it. And this simply feeds the habits. It's rather like an addiction. So we just become helpless at resisting the impulse to indulge further in the substance, if it's an addiction, or the emotional reactivity in the case of anxiety and depression. 

So we change this habit by bringing mindfulness to it, which is really a form of consciousness. We learn to develop a more conscious relationship with these habits. And this is really, really important for breaking that automatic unconscious force that causes us to become lost in the habit. 

So that's the first part of mindfulness therapy, learning to break free from the automatic and blind aspects of our emotional habits. The second part of Mindfulness Therapy is about healing the emotional suffering directly. And this we do by developing a mindful relationship with our emotional pain that is based on friendliness and compassion. 

These are two key ingredients of mindfulness: friendliness and compassion. So friendliness refers to this process of, if you like, approaching the emotional suffering rather than running away from it or trying to avoid, or trying to suppress it. It's about opening awareness to embrace that suffering to help it heal. And compassion is that process of helping the anxiety or depression heal. And this is something we develop through training with those emotions. We deliberately bring those emotions into the mind in order to develop friendliness and compassion and we can help those emotions change and heal through that relationship. 

So this is part of what I teach online during Skype therapy sessions. If you would like to learn more, please email me. Tell me more about how I can help you specifically, and if you like the idea of seeing an online therapist for help with anxiety, then please contact me and let's schedule a session. Thank you.

Online Psychotherapist for the Treatment for Anxiety 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.

How to overcome an anxiety disorder through Mindfulness Therapy 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 an anxiety disorder through Mindfulness Therapy via Skype 

How to Stop Worrying through Online Mindfulness Therapy via Skype. Visit my Contact Page to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for helping people overcome anxiety and depression and obsessive thinking and also for work with addictions and many other common psychological and emotional problems that we all encounter. 

 So one of the questions I'm often asked is, "How can I overcome chronic worrying? 

People tell me that they are absolutely overcome with negative and reactive thoughts that seem to be endless that arise throughout the day in a continuous stream and that caused a great deal of anxiety and suffering. 

 Reactive thoughts in general, are one of the main things that we need to learn how to manage if we want to maintain good mental well-being and mental health. 

 So one of the first things to understand is that worrying is not the same as caring for something or someone. This is a false equivalence that is commonly perpetuated, that if you really care for some something or someone then you are going to be worrying. I am often told by mothers that this their nature is to worry about their children. I would say that that needs to be reframed considerably. You want to care for your children. That is different than worrying about them. 

 Caring is actually about really addressing the needs of that person or that child or the situation that you are focusing on; that's caring. Worrying is actually taking your energy away from caring. If you become lost in a sea of worry thoughts then what happens is that you start to lose perspective. Your perception begins to narrow. You contract emotionally and psychologically and that makes you less available to care for whatever you're focusing on. So that's an important distinction to make. 

 Our goal in mindfulness training and Mindfulness Therapy is to learn how to be more present so that you can respond with greater compassion and that you can see things clearer. And then you can respond in a more skillful way to the demands of each and every moment that arises, including the challenges, the difficult parts of life. 

 So if you'd like to learn more about the mindfulness approach to working with chronic worry and stress and anxiety and rumination, in the case of depression, and intrusive thoughts and images in the case of post-traumatic stress disorder, then please contact me. 

 Go to my website learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach and simply e-mail me. Ask any questions you have about this approach and how to get started with Mindfulness Therapy. 

 When you feel ready we can schedule a session and you will start to see major changes even after the very first session. Because we do not waste time just talking about our feelings and emotions. Rather we work on changing the relationship to our mind, to our thoughts and our emotions and our feelings. That's the crucial difference with Mindfulness Therapy. It's not the same as counseling or talk therapy. It's about working with the actual structure, the process itself that creates anxiety and depression. So if you would like to get started with me please contact me. Thank you.
