Therapy via Skype - How to Overcome Anxiety & Depression
Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is very effective because it works on healing the root cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just treating symptoms. The focus is on teaching you practical tools and techniques that you can apply yourself between sessions. This is why most of my clients experience significant results very much faster than the more conventional talk-based counseling.
Please feel free to contact me to learn more about Online Mindfulness-based psychotherapy with me.
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.”

Online Therapy via Skype
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I offer therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and I also offer therapy via Skype for working with recovery from addictions, as well.
Therapy via Skype is particularly good if you are suffering from anxiety. Most of my clients suffer from some form of anxiety, whether it is Social Anxiety Disorder or Agoraphobia or Panic Attacks, which are very common.
Basically, during these online therapy sessions I will teach you very practical mindfulness-based methods of working with your emotions so that you don't become overwhelmed by them.
This is the most important first step to recovery from anxiety and depression, and addiction, as well. We have to learn how to build a friendly and non-reactive relationship with our emotions. We have to learn to sit with our emotions without becoming identified with them, without losing our freedom to those emotions that get triggered in the mind.
This is essential, because if you get identified with your emotions then what happens is that reactivity will feed the emotion and stop it from healing and resolving itself. It is just like a fire. If you react to the emotion it is just the same as piling fuel on a fire. But, if you can control your relationship with your anxiety or depression or that compulsive impulse so that you don't feed it, then the emotion will begin to lose its strength, altogether. It begins to undergo a process of resolution.
This is an interesting concept for many people. We find that the actual path to resolution of anxiety and depression is already in existence, it is already present within us. Our body and mind knows how to heal suffering. The problem is that reactivity in the form of reactive thinking or reactive behaviors or igniting further forms of emotional reactivity. The reactivity prevents that natural pathway of healing from coming into effect, and so we remain stuck in repeating patterns of reactive anxiety or depression or compulsion.
So, during the mindfulness therapy sessions that I offer via Skype, we will work on learning different ways of being with our emotions without becoming reactive. Then I will teach you how to work with your emotions through the process of compassion, natural inner friendliness, that always produces positive, beneficial results in the mind.
You learn to make friends with your anxiety or depression or compulsion. If you try to resist it, it just gets stronger, that is a form of aversion, a form of reactivity. If you try to suppress it, it will simply chase after you. You have to learn to make friends with your difficult and painful emotions if you really want them to change and heal.

Therapy via Skype for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I offer therapy via Skype as an alternative to conventional in-person therapy sessions. Online therapy provides an excellent way to get effective help for managing anxiety, for overcoming depression or for help with recovery from an addiction.
There is really no difference in the quality of service, whether therapy is online or in-person. In both situations you are able to see each other and talk to each other in real time, and that's the main factor. Now, of course, there are some styles of psychotherapy that require a much more intimate connection between the psychotherapist and the client. But most forms of psychotherapy are really concerned with teaching you better ways of managing your emotions. That's an educational process and that can work very well online as we are indeed seeing with higher education, which is now very commonly offered online as well as in the classroom.
So, during the online therapy sessions that I offer via Skype I will be teaching you Mindfulness Therapy, which is a particular way of working with emotions that helps you really change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression, rather than just treating the symptoms. This is quite a different approach than traditional talk therapy.
Mindfulness Therapy is similar to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, in that it works at the mechanistic level, the actual mechanism that causes your emotional suffering. With cognitive therapy you are, of course, working on changing recurrent thought patterns that are negative and dysfunctional into positive thought patterns that are life-enhancing and lead to a better sense of well-being. And that's fine, that's a very good approach.
However, in my experience, many clients come to me, having tried CBT and complain that although they have been working hard to change their thoughts, it doesn't actually change the way they feel. They still suffer from the same anxiety or depression, and this is because the thoughts are actually the byproduct of something else, and that is the underlying core emotions. The thoughts are the byproduct of emotion.
You have to work directly with the anxiety and depression or addiction, looking into the structure of how that emotion works. When you can change the emotion the thoughts will change themselves. They will simply adapt to the new state of emotion that has developed.
So, really the key to lasting change and well-being is to change things at the emotional level. In Mindfulness Therapy we do just this, we essentially focus mindfulness, which is a form of conscious awareness, directly on our emotions.
So, in Mindfulness Therapy you focus directly on changing your emotions, on helping them heal, and we do this in a number of different ways, which you can read about on my website and by watching some of the videos on my website.
If you would like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy via Skype, do please CONTACT ME and then we can schedule a trial Skype therapy session. There is no upfront payment required for a trial session. It is your opportunity to see if this approach is going to work for you. If it is effective for you and notice changes within that first session and you would like to continue online therapy with me, then you pay for that trial session and we would set up a follow-on session. Typically I see people on a weekly basis until they have learned the skills that they need and achieved the results that they are looking to achieve in reducing anxiety or depression or overcoming an addiction.
Most people can expect to see results quite quickly with Mindfulness Therapy because it is so directly focused on changing that underlying habitual process that creates the emotions.
So, if you would like to schedule a therapy session with me please send me an email. Ask any questions you may have and then, when you feel ready, we can schedule a Skype therapy session. Thank you.

Therapy via Skype - Learn how to overcome anxiety and depression
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Colorado and I offer psychotherapy by Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression, for agoraphobia, for work with addiction, for help with recovery from traumatic memories such as in PTSD, and I also work with OCD and obsessive-compulsive thoughts and memories and images.
Therapy by Skype is a very good choice if you're looking for an alternative to the more conventional medical-based treatments for anxiety and depression. So medications are useful when you need immediate relief from the symptoms of anxiety and depression. But it's important to understand the medications by themselves are not sufficient to treat the underlying cause of your anxiety and depression.
If you want to really break free from emotional suffering you must work out the psychological level, you have to work at the level of the reactive habitual thinking and the emotional reactivity that fuels anxiety and depression.
So that is where Mindfulness Therapy comes in and this form of therapy works very well when delivered over Skype. Skype is an excellent medium because it allows you to see each other and if you can see each other, then therapy by Skype is just as effective as therapy in person. There's really no difference. But you must be able to see each other. If you can see each other. then you will get the quality of communication necessary for effective psychotherapy.
So if you're interested in in psychotherapy by Skype, do please reach out to me. Simply go to my Contact Page and email me with any questions you may have. Feel free to tell me more about yourself and how I can help you and what you've tried so far. And if you want to schedule Skype Therapy with me, then simply tell me what time's work for you.
So I see people throughout North America and also Western Europe and the UK and as far away as Australia and South Korea.
Mindfulness Therapy is about changing things at the psychological level, it's about bringing mindfulness, which is a form of very direct conscious awareness to look closely at your anxiety or depression or emotional trauma or traumatic memories to see how they actually work. What happens in the mind?
So one of the first things that we notice when we actually look at our emotions is the whole array of reactive thinking that gets triggered by those emotions.
So in Mindfulness Therapy, one of the things we understand is a little different than in conventional therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, is that we understand that thoughts do not cause emotions, but emotions rather cause those thoughts. The emotions take form in thoughts and the reactive form feeds the underlying emotion, so creating a positive feedback loop that reinforces the anxiety or depression.
Rumination does not cause depression, but rumination feeds the depression. Chronic worrying does not cause anxiety, but it feeds the underlying anxiety.
So uncovering the particular reactive thought profiles that are feeding your anxiety or depression is really very important. And that's the first thing that we look at. We look to see what those reactive thoughts are and then we start to bring the magic of mindfulness to work here, because when you develop mindfulness, what you're doing is you're changing the relationship you have with those thoughts and emotions.
