Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"I have been suffering from severe depression and chronic anxiety for over a year now. In the pursuit to heal myself, I came across Peters work online. The insights I have gained from two Skype sessions with Peter, have put me onto a pathway healing and recovery. I am so grateful for Peter’s teaching and would recommend his service wholeheartedly."
During these Skype sessions I will teach you mindfulness-based methods for working with all forms of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, chronic depression, and addiction, including alcohol addiction and other forms of emotional suffering, by applying the very practical techniques of Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy.
This approach is particularly effective and you will experience tangible reduction in the intensity of your anxiety or depression after the first 2-3 online sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness-based Skype Psychotherapy is very effective for managing anxiety and depression without relying on anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants. It is far better to treat the underlying psychological cause of your emotional pain rather than 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 Therapist Specializing in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders using Buddhist Psychotherapy
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders. So if you're looking for an online therapist for anxiety and then I encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service for treating anxiety that I offer via Skype.
It's very easy to get started. All you need is an internet connection and Skype and PayPal to make your secure online payments for sessions and then you can get the kind of help that you need.
So I specialize in mindfulness therapy for treating anxiety disorders and mindfulness therapy is immensely effective because it teaches you how to break free from the underlying habitual reactivity that really is the foundation of anxiety.
Whether that's generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder or if you suffer from panic attacks or if you are suffering from agoraphobia or any other kind of phobia or even even if you're struggling with driving anxiety, all forms of anxiety are essentially psychological habits. We learn them over time, often they get started in childhood because a child is not very skilled at processing intense emotions, whether those are traumatic emotions or intense fear based emotions. Whatever kind of emotion they might be, it's very difficult for a child processes so it tends to get stuck, essentially, and get suppressed and pushed down in the mind and it becomes a source of emotional energy that feeds emotional reactivity later in life.
So that's how anxiety disorders typically get started. But we don't have to go back to childhood to change our anxiety disorder. We can't change the past but we can change the present and that is where we look at the actual psychological habit that's getting triggered right now. How it actually works right now in your present existence, how does that work. What other kind of reactive thoughts that proliferate around that anxiety and that feed it? What other emotional reactions are associated with the anxiety and that feed it, and so on.
We need to uncover the actual structure of your anxiety, how it really works. And mindfulness is the best tool available for doing this. So during the sessions I will teach you how to use mindfulness, how to apply mindfulness to work with your anxiety. And basically what we are learning to do is just take it out of that unconscious habit mode and put it into a conscious space. We do this by actively meditating on our anxiety.
Trying to avoid your anxiety, trying run away from it and suppressing it is not going to help it heal. It actually ends up feeding the anxiety. But when you bring conscious mindful attention to your anxiety then you are creating the perfect conditions to help that anxiety heal and dissolve itself now, no matter what the cause was historically.
So we build a conscious relationship with our anxiety. We also build a friendly compassionate relationship with that anxiety. So anxiety is very much like a child. It's stuck. It doesn't know how to heal itself. It requires its parent to do that because its parent has more resources, more consciousness, and a larger perspective to come and comfort the child and allow the child to heal its anxiety by providing a safe and conscious and loving space.
This is what we need to do with our anxiety. When you create that kind of relationship with it then that violence will heal. This has been proven over and over again. I have worked with hundreds of clients now and in every case this is what really makes the difference. When they stop running away from their anxiety and instead turn toward it and actually learn to meditate on the anxiety. This is what makes the difference.

Online Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety
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.

How to Overcome Anxiety without Medication through Online Mindfulness Therapy
Visit my Contact Page to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.
So I'm often asked, "How can I overcome my anxiety without using medication?" And the answer is medication is not going to change the underlying cause of your anxiety. Medications are designed solely to reduce symptoms, and they can have the place as a temporary measure, but you have to correct the underlying psychological cause if you want to break free from anxiety and panic attacks and OCD and other forms of anxiety disorder.
All anxiety disorders are caused by underlying psychological habits. So this habit is a psychological process that is triggered by various factors. That might be external triggers. For example, in a phobia there are very specific external triggers; driving anxiety is very common and that's triggered by certain road conditions. It could be health anxiety, which is triggered by a visit to see a doctor or the anticipation of going to see a doctor, and so on.
External triggers are one big factor for many people. But there are also internal triggers in the form of thoughts and beliefs and memories and other cognitive content.
So whatever the trigger is, it's what is triggered that's important. It's not effective to try and avoid external or internal triggers, that is not going to help in the long run. You have to change that underlying psychological habit that gets triggered. And we do this in Mindfulness Therapy by looking at the relationship that you have to the emotions that get triggered, the anxiety, and to the triggers themselves. So we work with both of these and learn how to break free from that, essentially, unconscious habitual reaction to these triggers. The most important thing how to break that unconscious habit.
We do this by actually focusing conscious awareness on those triggers whether they're external or internal using mindfulness meditation. So, mindfulness meditation is simply a way of breaking free from habits of the mind that cause emotional suffering. There are many styles of meditation, of course, and many interpretations of what meditation means. But in this context when we are talking about mindfulness meditation we are learning how to free the mind from suffering. So we learn how to work with the internal triggers and the external triggers by meditating on them, by imagining them and then looking for the emotion that gets triggered, and then helping to heal that emotion, helping to neutralize it through a number of mindfulness techniques that I will teach you. And I will teach you how to meditate on your emotions and how to free yourself from these emotional habits during our Skype Therapy sessions.
One of the key things we focus on is neutralizing reactivity to those triggers. It's habitual as I've been saying, and habit thrives on blind unconscious reactivity. So by simply the process of developing more and more conscious awareness around the triggers you will be be able to break free from them to a greater and greater extent until those triggers are no longer effective at triggering anxiety.
So that's one big area of mindfulness therapy. The problem for most people is that they do not bring conscious awareness to their triggers. They simply cultivate avoidance or aversion towards those triggers. They run away from them. They try to suppress them. They try to escape the emotional pain. But as you will know, that will not work. Any form of avoidance will simply make the problem worse. Any form of aversion or suppression of your emotions will simply strengthen them.
So we not only develop more consciousness but we also develop this quality of friendliness or compassion towards those emotions themselves. And this greatly accelerates the process of healing for emotional pain of all kinds, but especially for anxiety and fear.
Another thing that we explore during mindfulness therapy is the imagery of the emotions that get triggered. And we look at changing this imagery, how you see the emotion in the mind, and helping them resolve in that way, because when you change the imagery of an emotion you change the emotion.
If you'd like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety without using medications and you would like to learn how to heal anxiety by using mindfulness therapy which I offer online via Skype, then please contact me so we can schedule a Skype therapy session for overcoming your anxiety.
