Skype Therapy - Buddhist Psychotherapy over Skype
The primary focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to treat the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction, stress, PTSD and emotional trauma and other forms of emotional suffering rather than just trying to manage symptoms through medication.
Mindfulness Therapy is a form of Buddhist Psychotherapy based on the teachings of Buddhist Psychology, which focuses on teaching you how to change the relationship that you have with your mind, your thoughts, beliefs, memories, and especially your emotions. The primary goal is to cultivate freedom in relationship to your mind instead of trying to control and "fix" the mind.
Mindfulness is a special form of consciousness, characterized by direct awareness and non-reactivity (equanimity, upekkha), love (metta), compassion (karuna) and joy (mudita). Mindfulness Therapy focuses on applying these qualities to promote healing of emotional suffering (dukha) and to enhance wellbeing and happiness within and without, in your mind and in your personal and societal relationships.
Everyone can benefit from developing greater kindness and compassion toward the mind and the inner emotional pain that causes suffering. When that inner relationship is right, then it purifies our outer relationships, too. Happiness within = happiness without.
I offer Mindfulness Therapy online via Skype or Zoom to make these extraordinary teachings available to anyone, anywhere.
Almost everyone who seeks my help has already tried standard "talk therapy". This may be excellent for treating acute emotional problems, but most people tell me that it is seldom sufficient to overcome chronic anxiety or depression. Most of my clients have tried prescription medications and are looking for an alternative approach, a more holistic approach that focuses on healing rather than just treating symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy (Skype Therapy) focuses on teaching you how to work with your mind, giving you practical tools that you can apply yourself to promote healing and wellbeing. In this way it is quite different from the treatment-based approaches of clinical psychotherapy.
Everyone I have worked with really enjoys the Mindfulness Therapy approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"I have practiced working with difficult emotions with many wonderful Buddhist teachers, including Pema Chodron and Adyashanti. Peter taught me aspects and nuances that were completely new to me that are making a huge difference and allowing me to meet and heal these parts of myself more efficiently and actually with less distress."

Skype Therapy - Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy over Skype
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado and I offer Skype therapy, that is psychotherapy over Skype for help with anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, OCD, driving anxiety, and many other forms of anxiety disorders that respond well to Mindfulness Therapy.
Mindfulness Therapy has proven to be incredibly effective for the treatment of both anxiety and depression. It works by getting at the root cause of anxiety and depression. So it's really quite different than conventional talk therapy which may relieve symptoms for a while by talking about your emotional problems. But talk therapy, conventionally, doesn't really address the underlying cause for most people, it doesn't allow you to change that underlying cause directly.
And the same can be said for medications. They can provide temporary relief of the symptoms of anxiety or depression, but medications will not change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression.
There are other forms of psychotherapy like mindfulness therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Now CBT is very good because it attempts to work on the underlying cause, in the form of reactive habitual thinking, and CBT is a very good way of helping you identify patterns of reactive thinking and rumination and then changing them either by directly inhibiting them before they get established or by replacing them with more functional positive thoughts or by challenging the generalizations and irrational beliefs that we usually become attached to when we're not fully conscious of what is going on in the mind. So CBT has been very successful. It has been a great advance on traditional talk therapy.
Now Mindfulness Therapy incorporates CBT and many of the cognitive therapy concepts of CBT but it takes it a stage further because Mindfulness Therapy works not just on thoughts but also on helping to heal and resolve the underlying emotions.
So sometimes, working on just thoughts is not enough to heal the underlying anxiety or depression. So we need to work on the emotions directly as well.
The emotional content becomes habitual also and it gets triggered in the same way that reactive thinking is triggered. We have habitual emotional reactions to deal with and mindfulness therapy is particularly good at helping you identify these emotions and then working with them to promote their healing and resolution.
One of the ways we do this is by actually developing a conscious and friendly and compassionate relationship with these emotions. The aspect of compassion is a very important part of mindfulness therapy and it's very, very powerful when you start to develop compassion towards those painful emotions in yourself.
That starts to generate your true self, which is not afraid. It's not reactive in nature but it is able to embrace and heal emotional suffering. So that's what we cultivate mindfulness therapy sessions, learning how to essentially sit with your emotions without becoming reactive and then responding to your emotions with compassion to help them heal.
And very often this involves imagery we learn to identify the imagery that is causing the emotion and then we look at changing that imagery in order to heal the emotion. So working with imagery is actually part of the response of compassion to emotional suffering.
So that's an important part of mindfulness therapy, and this is what I offer during these Skype Therapy sessions. Skype is a very good medium for psychotherapy online because it allows you to see each other, and as long as you can see each other then there's really no difference between Skype Therapy and conventional therapy in person.
So if you'd like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety and depression through Skype Therapy and using the techniques of mindfulness therapy that I teach online, then please email me and let's schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that works for you.
I see people throughout the USA also Canada and Western Europe and the UK and as far away as Japan and South Korea.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist and I offer Skype therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Now, Skype therapy is a way of really by-passing the medical approach to treating anxiety or depression or other emotional difficulties that you may be experiencing. Skype therapy does not involve the use of medications and it not a treatment based approach at all. In fact, the whole purpose of Skype therapy is really focusing on teaching you specific practical methods for overcoming the underlying process that causes your anxiety or depression.
Anxiety and depression are, at the end of the day, psychological processes, and you need psychological means to change these habitual processes. Prescription medications may alleviate symptoms but they will not treat the underlying process that creates the anxiety or depression.
So, the Skype therapy that I have developed is based on Mindfulness Therapy, which is a very effective way of working with anxiety and depression without the need for medications.
We look at the underlying process itself, and this involves primarily, changing your relationship to your emotions. This is the central most important factor in successful recovery from chronic anxiety disorders or chronic depression.
You have to change the way that you relate to your emotions. The habitual way we relate to emotions is typically that we become overwhelmed by them. We become identified, blindly, with our emotions and our thoughts and our beliefs. This is what really sustains anxiety and depression.
We have to change this habit of identification, and this is what we learn how to do during mindfulness therapy sessions.
So, if you would like to learn more about how to work with your anxiety or depression without using medications, and you are interested in working with a Skype therapist like myself, do please go to my website and email me to schedule a Skype therapy session. Thank you!

Online Skype Therapy
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy and I offer online Skype Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and online Skype Therapy for help with depression and many other common psychological problems that do not require medication.
Most of my clients have tried medications for their anxiety or depression or OCD or other emotional problems without much success. And there's a reason for this, because medications do nothing to change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression. The underlying cause is primarily psychological in nature.
Even if there is a chemical imbalance in the body, that chemical imbalance is nothing more than a trigger that triggers the psychological reaction. If there is any underlying biochemical or physiological problems then you should consult with your doctor, but generally this is quite rare and most of my clients come to me after trying medication and they simply want something better, that actually addresses the problem rather than just covering up the symptoms. And that's what I offer during online Skype Therapy.
I teach mindfulness-based methods for working with emotional suffering such as anxiety or depression or intrusive thoughts or addictions or many other difficult psychological problems that we all face at one time or another.
It's really learning how to work with these emotional habits and how to start developing a conscious and mindful relationship with your emotions and with your thoughts and also with your memories, including traumatic memories, too. I offer online Skype Therapy for PTSD as well as anxiety and depression.
The most important thing is building a conscious and mindful relationship with your mind. Most of the time we don't do that you simply run away from our emotional pain or we react by becoming identified with our emotional pain, which simply feeds it, or we react with aversion to our emotional pain, which also prevents it healing.
The only way that the psychological habit that creates anxiety or depression can heal is when we create a friendly and conscious relationship with our emotions and thoughts. And this is the principle focus of Mindfulness Therapy, and I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for working with your emotions.
This approach is very effective, in deed. And I've been teaching Mindfulness Therapy for over ten years now and the number of people who have benefited from this approach is quite surprising and very satisfying for me.
Because once you learn how to apply mindfulness you become able to manage your emotions much more effectively than you could ever learn by a treatment-based approach, like medications.
So, if you'd like to learn more about online Skype Therapy and you'd like to schedule Skype Therapy sessions with me, then please go to my website, learn more about this approach, and then of course e-mail me if you have any questions.
If you would like to start online Skype Therapy with me, then please contact me and let's schedule a therapy session via Skype, and you'll see yourself within the first two to three sessions, just how effective it is when you start to change the way that you relate to your emotions using mindfulness. Thank you.
