Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
“I have found though that, no matter what life happens to throw at you, mindfulness practice creates a virtuous loop of compassion, wisdom and self-esteem as opposed to a viscous circle of emotional reactivity and its implications. I have recently completed reading Peter’s book and it’s a very helpful and practical guide to understanding and deepening mindfulness practice that I would highly recommend.”
During these sessions of Mindfulness Therapy I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for facilitating recovery from all forms of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, persistent depression, and for help with and other emotional problems, by applying the very practical methods of Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy.
This approach is particularly effective and most clients see noticeable results after 3-4 sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness Therapy is highly effective for overcoming anxiety and depression without relying on medications. It is better to treat the root cause of your emotional suffering instead of just managing symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy for Driving Anxiety & Phobia
A very popular request is for help overcoming a fear of driving. Driving phobias are quite common and are usually resistant to standard "talk therapy." I have developed an approach called Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy, where I will work with you via Skype, while in your car. People really respond well to this and most see dramatic improvements after the first few sessions.

Online Psychotherapist for Anxiety
Are you looking for an online therapist for anxiety? If so, you should visit my online therapy site and book a Skype session with me. I teach Mindfulness Therapy, which is probably the most effective treatment for chronic anxiety and panic attacks currently available. Mindfulness Therapy takes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to a much higher level by incorporating mindfulness methods for building the right kind of relationship with your anxiety and other emotions - one based on consciousness and friendliness instead of the usual fear-based avoidance and aversion-resistance.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist, teacher and author. I specialize in online therapy for anxiety, and if you want to talk to an online therapist for help overcoming anxiety, do please contact me through my website.
Working with an online therapist for anxiety is a very good choice, especially if the therapist employs some form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Mindfulness Therapy. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches you how to fundamentally change your relationship with your emotions.
The biggest problem that most people with anxiety struggle with is how to maintain a relationship with their anxiety and not become overwhelmed by the anxiety or other emotions. This problem we call emotional contraction and all it is at the end of the day is a habit. It is a learned habit that usually gets started in childhood, because the child does not know how to process intense emotions such as fear or anxiety or panic. So, what happens is they tend to contract, psychologically, and try to avoid the emotions. So we get patterns of avoidance and patterns further psychological reactivity to the emotion, and then the anxiety becomes stuck, effectively, unable to continue its process of resolution and healing.
So, the most important thing to reverse this emotional contraction is to establish a conscious relationship with your emotions where you are clearly conscious as an observer, witnessing the emotion, giving it, essentially, psychological space in which to exist AND in which to change.
When you are able to sit with your anxiety or panic without feeding it with further reactivity, avoidance and other forms of psychological conditioning that basically takes your consciousness away from the anxiety. Until you can establish a conscious relationship with your anxiety it cannot change.
So, that is a fundamental principle in Mindfulness Therapy. Change becomes possible the moment you establish a conscious and friendly relationship with your anxiety or other emotions, and that is what I will teach you during the online therapy sessions.
So, if you would like to talk to an online therapist for help with anxiety, do please contact me and we can schedule a Skype therapy session for treating your anxiety.

Online Psychotherapy for Anxiety Disorders
I welcome inquiries from people who are interested in working with me, learning how to apply mindfulness and mindfulness meditation (vipassana) for overcoming anxiety and depression and other forms of emotional suffering (called dukkha in Buddhist psychology).
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.
Overcoming anxiety through mindfulness is a very effective approach and it is often quite easy to get established in a practice where you learn how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety or panic attacks and this is what I teach during online therapy sessions, which I offer via Skype.
If you're interested in learning how to overcome anxiety or depression using mindfulness then please go to my website and send me an email and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have and to get started with mindfulness-based therapy.
The most important thing we learn when we're applying mindfulness to overcome anxiety is to change our relationship to our anxiety and also to the thoughts that feed that anxiety. Typically people have a very unconscious relationship, a very habitual relationship with their anxiety. They tend to identify with it. They tend to react to it with avoidance or some form of aversion, self-criticism, self-hatred for having anxiety. These kind of reactions, these habitual forms of reactivity, have the undesired effect of strengthening the anxiety.
So to overcome anxiety you need to change your relationship to these emotions and to the thoughts that support these emotions, and we learn how to do that during mindfulness training. We learn how to sit with our emotions and with our thoughts without reacting. That is the key first principle of mindfulness therapy and training.
We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety and this is what makes the difference. When you learn to develop a non-reactive relationship with your emotions, that effectively creates the right conditions whereby they start to heal.
But we take it further than that because mindfulness is not just about becoming more aware and less reactive. It's also about developing a level of friendliness or love towards your own emotions and thoughts. Love is a very powerful healing force and when you can actually make friends with your emotions then you will increase the rate of healing by a huge factor.
So if you're interested in learning more about how to apply mindfulness and mindfulness meditation for healing anxiety or depression, for overcoming painful emotions, then please go to my website and send me an email and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype, in which I will teach you how to work with your emotions using mindfulness. Thank you.

Anxiety attack treatment without using medication
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.
