Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"After 8 years, two therapists, many self-help books…..my hypochondria and OCD was worse than ever. I figured I would just have to live like this and deal with it. I put on a good show in front of people and cried alone. Then, I stumbled upon Peter’s website. I figured this was my last attempt. Peter is kind, understanding, and patient. He helped guide me out of the dark and see the light. He is truly there to help. He never looks at his time during sessions. I would have to remind him that time is up. His rates are reasonable so everyone cam get proper therapy. He gave me practical tools to use to overcome my anxiety. He is always available via email for advice. He truly cares about the progress of his patients. Peter changed my life and gave me the chance to enjoy my life again. I am eternally grateful to him."
During these sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for working with all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, persistent depression, and for help with and other emotional problems, by using the very practical techniques of Mindfulness Therapy.
This approach is very effective and you will see noticeable results after the first 2-3 Skype therapy sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy is highly effective for overcoming anxiety and depression without using anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants. It is far better to treat the underlying cause of your emotional pain instead of just suppressing symptoms.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety using Mindfulness Therapy.
So mindfulness-based therapy is extremely effective for overcoming anxiety and this is because it teaches you how to change the underlying relationship that you have with your emotions.
The primary problem that I come across in the clients that I work with is the problem of reactive identification. This is the process whereby you become identified with your anxiety.
So anxiety gets triggered in the mind and that is just a habit, a conditioned habit. But the real problem starts when you become identified with it. This is where you essentially become the emotion, where you become consumed by it, controlled by it, overwhelmed by the anxiety. So this is reactive identification and this is the key thing that you must change if you wish to break free from anxiety or depression. It's the same process in both conditions that really causes the problem to sustain itself.
You essentially end up feeding your anxiety or depression when you identify with it.
Other kinds of reactivity that reinforce anxiety and depression are typically the reaction of avoidance. Running away from your emotions. That will strengthen anxiety or depression because it cultivates fear of your own anxiety or depression.
And the other kind of reactivity that is very, very common is reactivity based on aversion: pushing the unpleasant emotions away. Trying to pretend that they're not there, trying to talk your way out of those emotions. These are all ways of pushing the emotion away, suppressing and pushing it into the subconscious and of course that will simply reinforce the habit that creates anxiety of depression.
And that's an important consideration. In my opinion, it is incorrect to call anxiety or depression an illness or chemical imbalance or any other disorder of that type. These are emotional states that are created psychologically in the mind in reaction to certain triggers. Now those triggers could include chemical imbalances in the mind, but not typically it is the anxiety or depression itself that leads to chemical imbalances in the mind and those imbalances simply reinforce and feed the underlying psychological condition.
So the way that we can overcome our anxiety or depression is by working on changing the way that we relate to our emotions. And this does not require medication. It simply requires very careful strategic focused attention on the relationship that you have with your emotions, and that is what we specialize in during Mindfulness Therapy. And I will teach you how to do this.
I have found this approach to be very effective. My clients really enjoy and feel empowered by this approach. And almost all of my clients are able to get off their medications once they start really applying the mindfulness techniques that I teach.
So if you'd like to learn more about mindfulness-based psychotherapy for overcoming anxiety and depression as well, then please go to my website and learn more about my services. And please e-mail me with any questions you might have. I will be happy to answer your e-mails. And when you feel ready we can then proceed to schedule the first online therapy session. And in that first session I will teach you the principles of how to apply mindfulness to work with anxiety and depression.
Most people really benefit tremendously from this approach and I typically tell people to look for changes very quickly after the first one or two sessions. If you start applying these techniques you will see changes quite quickly.
So if you're interested in Mindfulness Therapy for overcoming anxiety depression or any other emotional problem and you like the idea of learning how to do this yourself without relying on medications, then please go to my website and contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that was for you.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy via Skype for treating anxiety and depression, addictions and other common psychological-emotional problems that respond well to Mindfulness Therapy.
I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy because I find it to be very effective and my clients really like the skills that they learn. So I'm often asked are there any online therapists that can help overcome anxiety? And there are a growing number and some of them specialize in Mindfulness Therapy like I do.
Others provide a service to help you discover new understandings and ways of looking at your anxiety that can be useful. In general, what I recommend is that you work with an online therapist for your anxiety who really is good at teaching you specific methods, practical methods and tools that you can apply yourself between sessions. It is learning how to become more skillful in working with anxiety and other forms of emotional reactivity. This is what is most important.
People like the convenience of online therapy means you can. First of all, you can have your sessions from home without having to travel to see your therapist. Sometimes there just are not local options available. If you're living abroad or if you're living in a rural area or even if you're living in a big city, sometimes it's very difficult to find an affordable therapist to work with.
Also online therapy gives you more options. Like any other online browsing it makes available a much greater range of options for you to find something that you feel really good about and that meets your needs. So if you're looking for an online therapist for anxiety I'd definitely recommend you do a good Google search first of all and then be sure that you can establish a line of communication with the prospective therapist where you can ask your questions and make sure that those questions are well answered.
Also when you're selecting an online therapist be sure that you don't have to pay upfront for an online session. You should be selecting therapists that will allow you to determine if the sessions are providing the right kind of support, and pay only when you're satisfied with the outcome of each session. I think it's quite important. That's the policy that I use and it's a satisfaction-based arrangement. I think that's best for everyone.
So the mindfulness-based approach that I offer online is particularly effective for giving you those tools and methods for reducing the level of your anxiety. I will teach you precisely how to apply mindfulness for working with anxiety and you will start to see quite significant improvements, even after the first one or two sessions, once you learn how to work with your anxiety use mindfulness.
So if you'd like to learn more about online therapy for anxiety and specifically Mindfulness Therapy for anxiety, then please go to my website and feel free to contact me and ask any questions you have about this approach and whether it's the right approach for you. Most people really enjoy Mindfulness Therapy.
It is very empowering. It's very positive in nature and most people see results fairly quickly with this approach. So please contact me if you would like to learn more, and of course, please contact me if you would like to schedule a Skype Therapy session. 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 Colorado and I offer online therapy for anxiety via Skype. People like the convenience of online therapy, and it is generally a very much more comfortable and less clinical way of approaching anxiety and learning how to manage anxiety and overcome anxiety.
The focus of the approach that I take, which is called Mindfulness Therapy, is about giving you the tools to manage and overcome your anxiety. This is not a treatment-based approach. Treatments are not good for working with anxiety or depression.
Medications are a form of treatment and I do not recommend them either because they do not empower you. They do not give you the tools to overcome the root cause of your anxiety or depression.
You have to look at the underlying psychological cause which consists of reactive habits such as habitual reactive thinking. That's one of the primary causes of our anxiety and depression. We become blindly identified with reactive thoughts and beliefs that end up feeding our anxiety and depression.
So overcoming reactivity is central, and medications or treatment-based approaches are not going to do that. You have to do that yourself by developing more conscious awareness of these underlying habitual processes, and that is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy.
So I offer therapy by Skype and it is really important that you use Skype or a similar video format. You need to be able to see each other, but if you can't see each other, then Skype therapy is just as effective as meeting a therapist in person.
You don't need to be in the same room as the therapist, but you do need to see each other for effective psychotherapy.
If you would like to learn more about online therapy for anxiety using Skype, then do please contact me and ask any questions that you may have. Tell me what you have tried so far. Tell me more about your particular anxiety disorder. And I am happy to answer any questions you have.
The mindfulness approach is very, very effective if you are interested in healing your anxiety. If you're interested in really changing things at the deep level, the core level rather than just treating symptoms.
One of the most important first principles that you'll be learning is how to break free from reactive identification. This is the root cause of the problem. It's more important than thoughts or beliefs or memories or the emotional reactions themselves.
The real issue is that we become blindly identified with thoughts and beliefs, emotional reactions and and so on. We become identified, we become blindly attached to these objects in the mind, basically, which is how we describe thoughts and emotions and memories. They are objects that arise in the mind due to certain conditions that trigger them. They exist in the mind for a while and then they usually pass through. But when we become reactive, that stops them healing. It stops the emotions from resolving themselves.
As objects they have no power at all to cause your anxiety. It's only when you identify with those thoughts and emotions that they then gain power and cause you to suffer.
So developing independence or objectivity or objective consciousness is central. And we do this by learning how to meditate on our mind.
So mindfulness meditation, which is what I teach and is the core methodology for healing anxiety and depression involves meditating on those emotions and building this different relationship where you are the observer, instead of just becoming overwhelmed and lost in the stream of reactive thinking and rumination.
So developing that objective relationship to your thoughts and emotions is is vital. It is an absolute step that's required for healing. And it takes training. And the way we train is by meditating on the mind.
Meditation is not an escape from the mind. It's a way of changing your relationship to the mind so that you are not controlled by thoughts and emotions and beliefs and memories and so on.
So that is the first step. We call this the liberating effect of mindfulness. You learn how to meditate on your thoughts and emotions to achieve freedom, then the healing really starts to accelerate once that relationship is well established.
