Skype Therapy for Anxiety and Depression

Everyone that I have worked with really enjoys 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.”

How to start Skype Therapy for Help with Anxiety & Depression

Contact me via email to schedule a Skype therapy session.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy which I offer online over Skype.

So if you would like to learn how to start Skype Therapy to help you overcome your anxiety or depression or other emotional problems then please reach out to me by e-mail. Tell me more about yourself and how I can help you and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about Skype Therapy.

People like online therapy in general because it's so much more convenient. It means you can organize your sessions from home. You don't have to leave home to go to a therapist's office, and this can be very beneficial.

So I see lots of people who suffer from agoraphobia, and I also see quite a few people who suffer from driving phobia and difficulty with driving in general. But I also have quite a few clients such as stay at home mums or the elderly or people who generally find it difficult to leave home for whatever reason.

So online therapy has a lot of great advantages. And as long as you use Skype or similar video format then the Skype Therapy sessions are really no different than talking with a therapist in person. It's really important that you can see each other. That makes the communication more effective and equivalent to meeting in person.

Another reason why people like Skype Therapy is because it feels more comfortable in general. It is far less intimidating than going to a clinic or a therapist's office.

It's also more private too and that's another feature that many people like. When you're dealing with difficult emotional problems, or maybe an addiction, it's often difficult to talk about this in public. It's easier for you to talk in private, and of course talking to to me through Skype offers you that degree of privacy.

So if you would like to learn more about Skype Therapy and the Mindfulness Therapy approach that I specialize in, do please email me.

All you need to start Skype Therapy is a laptop, tablet or even an iPhone, which has her Skype installed on it, and you need a reasonably good internet connection, which is usually not a problem these days. And you need a quiet place in which to conduct your therapy sessions.

So during the Skype Therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your emotions using mindfulness. Now you may have heard about mindfulness. It's a very very interesting area. It's been around many hundreds of years, of course, and traces back to the teachings of the Buddha. But now we are discovering how to apply mindfulness in overcoming emotional suffering. And it works extremely well when working with anxiety or depression or for managing the painful and compulsive emotions that are associated with an addiction.

I have also developed a number of mindfulness-based techniques for working with PTSD that are proving very successful indeed. These include techniques like mindfulness-based imagery reprocessing, where you can effectively decrease the intensity of a flashback memory by changing the way that you see that scene in the mind.

So working with imagery is actually a very important part of working with emotions in general. Even anxiety and depression has associated internal imagery and this is why we often feel overwhelmed when we are struggling with chronic anxiety or depression. Literally, that's because the emotion is very large and we see it above us in our internal imagery. That's why we use that term, "feeling overwhelmed.".

Another part of Mindfulness Therapy has to do with trying to change your relationship to your emotions and thoughts as well. This is very important because our habit is to become completely lost in our emotions or thoughts. We become identified with them and when you become identified with them then this leads to emotional suffering.

So if you'd like to learn more please email me and schedule a Skype Therapy session. Thank you.

Everyone that I have worked with really likes 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 therapy sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for working with all forms of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, persistent depression, and addiction, including alcohol addiction and other forms of emotional suffering, by using the very successful methods of Mindfulness Meditation Therapy.

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy is highly effective for controlling anxiety and depression without relying on anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants. It is always better to treat the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety or depression as opposed to just suppressing 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 Mindfulness Therapist via Skype for Controlling Depression without relying on drugs

Talk to a Therapist Online over Skype for effective online mindfulness therapy for Depression and Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety and Agoraphobia, Addictions, and other forms of emotional stress, including PTSD and Traumatic Stress.

To overcome depression you must develop a conscious and mindful relationship with your emotional pain, whatever form that takes. The most common problem that prevents recovery from depression is automatic and habitual reactive thinking and rumination, where we become lost in negative thinking and negative beliefs. This reactivity feeds depression and prevents depression from healing. The more we can break free from reactive thinking the faster we will recover.

The main factor that supports reactive thinking is the lack of conscious awareness. We become controlled by the habitual thoughts that we do not see. Mindfulness Therapy provides an extremely effective way to restore consciousness allowing us to regain freedom and choice in relation to our thoughts making them less reactive. Thoughts themselves are not the problem, it is the lack of consciousness that is the real problem. Re-establishing a conscious relationship with our thoughts and emotional reactions is the most important step in the recovery from depression and most other forms of emotional suffering.

Antidepressants may have a limited value in the short-term management of symptoms of depression, but medications are not a substitute for the psychological work of re-establishing inner conscious awareness. This is the primary focus of Mindfulness Therapy, and it is very effective for most people.

Online Mindfulness Therapy, available via Skype, offers a very effective way to manage and to overcome chronic depression by teaching you how to manage rumination and reactive thinking which feed depression as well as teaching you how to develop a non-reactive and compassionate relationship with the underlying emotions such as fear, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, emotional trauma, profound loss, guilt and shame and overwhelming emotional stress. These core emotions need to heal inorder to fully recover from chronic depression and Mindfulness Therapy provides an extremely good approach for doing just this.

OCD Therapy over Skype

So the way to break free from those patterns of emotional reactivity that cause our anxiety and that fuel our obsessions is to learn how to form a mindfulness-based relationship with them and to train with those those thoughts and the anxiety. We train ourself to sit with them without becoming reactive.

When you can sit with your emotions and thoughts without allowing them to proliferating further, then you are taking away the fuel source that feeds the underlying anxiety that fuels those intrusive thoughts. So learning to sit with your emotions and thoughts is the heart of the Mindfulness Meditation Therapy approach that I teach for overcoming OCD.

This approach is very effective and it's very effective because it's very direct. It is about working directly with your emotions. Just talking about your emotions is seldom enough to change the underlying reactivity that feeds your anxiety. You have to change your relationship to that reactivity directly so that you do not become blindly identified with it, blindly caught up in the reactive thinking or in the emotion itself.

The more you can develop this quality of objective consciousness where you can maintain your identity as your True Self, the Observer, looking at your emotions and thoughts as objects in the mind the freer you become and the faster the recovery.

With training you see the thoughts and the anxiety as simply objects in the mind that you can observe and respond to with compassion. That's the power of this teaching - it frees you, it liberates you from emotional suffering by allowing you to strengthen your perspective as your True Self.

Connection with that True Self is exactly what the anxiety needs in order to heal itself. So your True Self is fearless by nature because it is non-reactive.

The anxiety is completely fear-based. In order to resolve fear, it needs to come into contact with that which is fearless and that is your True Self. So this is what we cultivate by meditating on our thoughts and the emotions that fuel those thoughts, which is generally fear.

So do please contact me if you'd like to learn more about this approach. And if you're interested in online help for overcoming your obsessive compulsive disorder, or if you would like help with working with intrusive thoughts and images, including traumatic memory images, which are often at the heart of OCD.

So please contact me if you would like help in overcoming OCD, and also ask any questions you may have about online psychotherapy for obsessive compulsive disorder.

Talk to a Therapist Online over Skype for highly effective online mindfulness-based therapy for the treatment of Post-traumatic stress (PTSD)

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online therapist. I provide online mindfulness therapy for anxiety, online therapy for depression, for stress and for addictions. I also provide online therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

So, what is PTSD? Well, basically it is the inability of the mind to process a traumatic event. A trauma is defined as an even that has extreme sensory and emotional components that the mind is simply not able to process, so, that memory and associated emotions around that memory become stuck. And that's why a person suffering from PTSD will constantly re-live that memory in the form of flash-backs or recurring memories or intrusive thoughts and other forms of reactivity of the mind.

Essentially, the mind is trying to heal that trauma and that's why it reoccurs, but the mind is stuck, it does not know how to do that.

So, during Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty, we work on changing the underlying structure of that memory and the traumatic emotions associated with that memory. We look at the way we see the memory and emotions internally, because that is what needs to change - our internal picture. Imagery is the natural language of emotion and each emotion that we experience has it's own individual imagery structure inside - how we see it internally.

During Mindfulness Therapy sessions we look very closely at this imagery to see how it works. Often, we find there are certain themes. For example, the imagery is too large, too close and it has very vivid or intense color. These properties are what actually produce the emotional distress, the anxiety, the terror, not the actual historical event itself. It's how we see that picture internally.

When we bring mindfulness to this internal picture, we begin to see the structure and we can begin to change that structure, we begin to discover ways of making the imagery smaller, moving it further away, changing it's color, and other things that we can change consciously that actually have the effect of defusing and resolving the emotional trauma.

So, this is one central piece of Mindfulness Therapy - actually chaining the internal imagery of the trauma. Change the imagery, you change the emotional intensity and eventually that traumatic memory is able to resolve itself and become integrated into our general memory. We stop experiencing those recurring symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

To learn more, please visit my website and CONTACT ME. Email me and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype to help you overcome your Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. So, please visit my website now and contact me.Thank you!

Stress is a conditioned habit. We learn to react to situations, people, thoughts, memories, beliefs and expectations emotionally by becoming irritated, angry or upset. We believe that stress is an inevitable consequence of the challenges of life, that its cause is external. But this is erroneous, it is a delusion. We create stress through our blind conditioned reactivity. Stress is a learned reaction, which means it can be un-learned.

There is absolutely no law that says that you have to react with stress, irritation or anger. Stress is JUST A HABIT – and HABITS CAN BE CHANGED!

Old style talk therapy can be helpful, but often it does not alter the the underlying process that is the real cause of your emotional stress, depression or anxiety.

The same can be said for medications - drugs may provide a temporary relief from symptoms for a while, but medications are not able to heal the underlying cause that generates your emotional suffering and stress. That underlying process is psychological in nature and requires a psychological approach to bring about significant change.

The kind of psychotherapy that I provide is called Mindfulness Therapy, which can be noticeably successful for handling emotional stress, including all forms of anxiety as well as for treating depression or other emotional difficulties caused by conditioned negative thinking. Most of my clients report measurable reduction in the level of anxiety and depression after the first few sessions of psychotherapy via Skype.

Go to my website and email me to discover more about this online counseling service and to arrange for a therapy session with me.

The many techniques offered during online sessions of Mindfulness Therapy will teach you exactly how to undo the "stress habit", allowing you to find more balance and happiness in your life.

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

"I had three sessions with Peter (4 hours total) and am very glad I had a chance to do therapy with him. Even after one session, I already felt better about some of the trauma I have had since I was young. With him, I learned to dissolve the trauma and came to terms with what happened in the past. I very much appreciate Peter’s kindness, wisdom, and patience."

Talk to a psychotherapist online for help with addiction

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy, which is particularly effective for treating addictions. If you would like to talk to a psychotherapist online for help with addiction, then please go to my website and learn more about mindfulness therapy and how it can help you. Please e-mail me and ask any questions you may have about the mindfulness approach. It is very effective and most people see it's quite substantial improvements after the first three or four sessions.

Mindfulness therapy is very effective because it works directly on helping you change those habitual emotions that fuel addiction, whether it's depression or stress or anxiety or or any other emotion. The primary problem is that that emotional energy feeds the compulsive impulses of the addiction. You have to change those underlying emotions in order to overcome addiction effectively.

Mindfulness is extremely good at doing this because it teaches you how to build a conscious relationship with your emotions. The real problem is that we fall into patterns of avoidance and aversion. We don't like painful emotions, we try to get away from them. But in so doing you inadvertently feed those emotions and you prevent them from healing. It's essential to develop a conscious and also friendly relationship with your emotions if they are to heal. They require others and that's what we specialize in, and I will teach you join these online therapy sessions that I authored via Skype exactly how to do this. It is not that difficult.

I will teach you how to essentially meditate on your emotions: on the anxiety, the depression, the stress, whatever it might be. I will teach you how to develop and cultivate this mindfulness relationship with your emotions that will promote healing. You can practice this between sessions yourself. This is a life skill that I teach and it is, as I have said, very effective and probably the most direct approach there is to healing emotional suffering and for recovering from the various forms of behavioral reactivity such as addictions. So. please contact me to learn more about mindfulness therapy for addictions and talk to a therapist online for help with your addictions. Thank you.

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!

The type of psychotherapy that I provide is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which can be extremely powerful for handling chronic anxiety as well as for treating depression and other common psychological difficulties resulting from habitual reactive thinking. Most of my clients notice quite significant changes after the first couple of sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a mindfulness-based psychotherapist, living in Boulder, Colorado, and I provide Skype Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and for help with recovery from chronic depression and also for help with addiction recovery.

If you would like to talk to a psychologist online who specializes in mindfulness therapy then please simply go to my website and send me an email and ask any questions you have about mindfulness therapy and this approach and how it can help you with your specific needs.

Generally, online therapy is very effective indeed, especially for anxiety and non-clinical depression. It is a much better alternative than years of talk therapy or other treatment-based options because Mindfulness Therapy teaches you specifically how to change your emotional reactions.

All emotional reactions are basically habits and all habits can be changed when you bring more consciousness to them. So, when you apply mindfulness to an emotional habit like anxiety or depression it changes, and it makes it much more effective in what you do in trying to help that anxiety or depression resolve and heal.

Basically, the most important thing is to build a mindfulness-based relationship with your emotions, based on consciousness and compassion. These two qualities are what really characterize mindfulness; it's much more than just awareness. Most people are already aware of their emotional suffering, but they are not necessarily conscious of the emotional habit, the underlying process that creates their anxiety or depression.

This consists of habitual reactive thinking and habitual reactive behaviors and also habitual reactive imagery. One of the hallmarks of Mindfulness Therapy is examining the imagery of your emotions, what makes them work. And, of course, when you uncover that emotional imagery you have something very definite to work with, and when you change emotional imagery, you change the emotion.

If you would like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy and you would like to talk to a psychologist online who specializes in Buddhist psychology and the mindfulness approach, then please go to my website and then send me an email and we can schedule a Skype therapy session at a time that works for you.

Skype Therapy Service Online

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist. I specialize in online therapy because I find it a very effective way of helping my clients overcome anxiety and depression and other emotional problems.

Most people, and perhaps this applies to you too, that are suffering from anxiety or depression, really, what they need is a way of working with the psychological process that creates that emotional suffering.

Medications and the medical approach don't really treat the psychological habit that creates anxiety or depression, or panic attacks. Medications only alleviate symptoms temporarily, but they do not change that underlying psychological process. That is really what I am offering online through these Skype therapy sessions.

I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, and mindfulness therapy really works extremely well with anxiety and depression. It does help you change the way that you relate to your emotions. That's the most important thing that needs to change.

The habit is to become identified with our emotions and our thoughts. This identification reaction feed the anxiety or depression and it stops it from changing or resolving.

One of the primary themes that we understand in Mindfulness Therapy is that when you change the habit that feeds anxiety or depression then that anxiety or depression will begin to resolve by itself; it will reduce in frequency and it will reduce in it's intensity if you stop fueling it, if you stop feeding it through patterns of habitual reactive thinking.

So, that a prime focus of Mindfulness Therapy which is what I teach during these Skype therapy sessions for anxiety and depression.

Most people see really substantial changes after relatively few sessions. Why? Well, simply because we focus very specifically on changing those underlying habits, and I teach you tools that you can apply yourself between sessions to really accelerate this process of overcoming reactive identification. When you do that then everything begins to change very much quicker.

No amount of medications will do that for you. Even talk therapy, by itself, is not enough; you have to change those patterns directly. Talking about your emotions also produces temporary relief from symptoms but it doesn't change that underlying process, and until you do, the anxiety or depression will simply return when the triggers are present.

So, if you would like to learn more about online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression, simply email me and we can schedule a Skype therapy session. Thank you!
