Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"Dr. Strong provides a helpful mix of talk therapy and practical mindful meditation techniques. Our visits have led to a reduction in my anxiety and alcohol abuse, in a short amount of time."

During these Skype sessions I will teach you how to use mindfulness for recovering from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, persistent depression, and addiction recovery and other emotional problems, by applying the very successful methods of Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy. 

This approach is particularly effective and you can expect to experience tangible results after the first few Skype sessions with me. 

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy is very effective for managing anxiety and depression without the need for drugs. It is far better to treat the underlying cause of your emotional suffering instead of just trying to manage symptoms.

Online Therapist Specializing in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders. So if you're looking for an online therapist for anxiety and then I encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service for treating anxiety that I offer via Skype. 

It's very easy to get started. All you need is an internet connection and Skype and PayPal to make your secure online payments for sessions and then you can get the kind of help that you need. 

So I specialize in mindfulness therapy for treating anxiety disorders and mindfulness therapy is immensely effective because it teaches you how to break free from the underlying habitual reactivity that really is the foundation of anxiety. 

Whether that's generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder or if you suffer from panic attacks or if you are suffering from agoraphobia or any other kind of phobia or even even if you're struggling with driving anxiety, all forms of anxiety are essentially psychological habits. We learn them over time, often they get started in childhood because a child is not very skilled at processing intense emotions, whether those are traumatic emotions or intense fear based emotions. Whatever kind of emotion they might be, it's very difficult for a child processes so it tends to get stuck, essentially, and get suppressed and pushed down in the mind and it becomes a source of emotional energy that feeds emotional reactivity later in life. 

So that's how anxiety disorders typically get started. But we don't have to go back to childhood to change our anxiety disorder. We can't change the past but we can change the present and that is where we look at the actual psychological habit that's getting triggered right now. How it actually works right now in your present existence, how does that work. What other kind of reactive thoughts that proliferate around that anxiety and that feed it? What other emotional reactions are associated with the anxiety and that feed it, and so on. 

We need to uncover the actual structure of your anxiety, how it really works. And mindfulness is the best tool available for doing this. So during the sessions I will teach you how to use mindfulness, how to apply mindfulness to work with your anxiety. And basically what we are learning to do is just take it out of that unconscious habit mode and put it into a conscious space. We do this by actively meditating on our anxiety. 

Trying to avoid your anxiety, trying run away from it and suppressing it is not going to help it heal. It actually ends up feeding the anxiety. But when you bring conscious mindful attention to your anxiety then you are creating the perfect conditions to help that anxiety heal and dissolve itself now, no matter what the cause was historically. 

So we build a conscious relationship with our anxiety. We also build a friendly compassionate relationship with that anxiety. So anxiety is very much like a child. It's stuck. It doesn't know how to heal itself. It requires its parent to do that because its parent has more resources, more consciousness, and a larger perspective to come and comfort the child and allow the child to heal its anxiety by providing a safe and conscious and loving space. 

This is what we need to do with our anxiety. When you create that kind of relationship with it then that violence will heal. This has been proven over and over again. I have worked with hundreds of clients now and in every case this is what really makes the difference. When they stop running away from their anxiety and instead turn toward it and actually learn to meditate on the anxiety. This is what makes the difference. 

If you'd like to learn more about how to apply mindfulness for healing anxiety and you would like to talk to an online therapist for help with your anxiety, then please contact me and tell me more about how anxiety is affecting you and I will be happy to explain to you in more detail how mindfulness therapy can work for you. 

Most people see tremendous changes within three to four sessions. It's quite surprising how effective mindfulness therapy can be. So please contact me if you would like to get started.

Anxiety Counseling Online by Skype 

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist offering online therapy for anxiety and depression and other common emotional problems that respond well to online mindfulness therapy, which is what I specialize in and find to be most effective for helping you overcome anxiety and depression and other common emotional suffering. 

 So if you're looking for an online therapist to help you overcome anxiety and to provide relief from chronic anxiety then I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness-based approach for overcoming anxiety. It's very effective. Most people see quite dramatic changes within the first three or four sessions, once you start applying the mindfulness-based methods that I will be teaching you during these Skype therapy sessions. 

 So the very first thing that we have to understand is that anxiety is best seen as a habit process rather than a disorder. It's better to look at the underlying psychological habit that is causing your anxiety rather than just treating it with medications, because just covering up the symptoms is not going to change anything at the psychological level. So if you want real relief from anxiety you have to work on changing that underlying habitual process that is creating your anxiety. 

 So most people notice that when they start to examine the structure of their anxiety and this underlying habitual process that they begin to see changes very quickly. The very first thing we need to do is change our relationship to our emotions. We must change our relationship from one of fear and hatred and reactivity to one of consciousness and even friendliness. 

It is really important, actually, to develop a friendly and compassionate relationship with your emotions if you want them to heal. If you want to get real relief from anxiety then you must make friends with that anxiety. 

 Acceptance is really important, but not just blind acceptance, not just tolerating your emotions, but rather helping them heal. So the function of mindfulness therapy is seeing your emotions clearly, establishing a compassionate relationship with your emotions, and then helping them heal. 

 And one of the most important ways that we can help heal anxiety is by developing a non-reactive relationship with that anxiety. When you can sit with your anxiety, observe it without reactivity, then that will allow the anxiety to begin to change itself. The problem is that we tend to react to our anxiety and this reactivity has the effect of feeding the anxiety. The best analogy here is to think of the anxiety as being like a fire and the reactivity is the fuel that feeds that fire. 

So when you become lost in reactive thinking and rumination and other forms of reactivity towards your anxiety, it simply feeds the fire. But once you stop reacting to it then you provide a healing environment. It's taking the fuel away from the fire. And when you do that the anxiety will begin to heal itself in that space that you've provided for it. 

 So mindfulness is about embracing our emotions and giving them a space in which to heal. And it's quite surprising to some people, but the fact is that they will heal your anxiety will heal itself if you allow it to heal. That means with without becoming reactive towards it. 

 So anxiety is a habit and the anxiety that is causing you problems is not healing because you're not building a compassionate, friendly and conscious relationship with it. That is what I find, over and over again, is the real issue. 

 So if you would like help in learning how to change your relationship with your anxiety or other emotions and help promote this natural inner healing process, then please do contact me and we can schedule an online therapy session. 

 So mindfulness therapy is one of the very best ways of promoting healing of emotions. It has some elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy in it, but it's much more focused on healing the emotions directly through changing our relationship to them. When the emotions heal then the reactive thinking heals also, and that begins to subside. So this I find to be a better way of approaching anxiety. Work on healing the emotion directly rather than just focusing on trying to change your thought patterns. 

So please contact me and let's schedule a therapy session so you can learn how to overcome your anxiety and get relief from anxiety. Thank you.

How to overcome anxiety without using anti-anxiety medications 

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 depending on anti-anxiety medications 

Online Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks

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.
