"I really don’t want to continue taking medications to treat my anxiety. I hate the side-effects. I feel that this online counseling has given me the tools I needed to stop my panic attacks. Mindfulness therapy has been very effective treatment for me – and enjoyable too!"

During these Skype sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for promoting recovery from all forms of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, depression, and addiction, including alcohol addiction and other emotional problems, by applying the very successful methods of Mindfulness Meditation Therapy.

This approach is very effective and you will experience tangible changes after the first 2-3 sessions with me.

Online Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy is highly effective for managing anxiety and depression without using drugs. Treat the psychological cause of your anxiety or depression rather than 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.

Mindfulness-based Online Therapist for Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety using Mindfulness Therapy.

So mindfulness-based therapy is extremely effective for overcoming anxiety and this is because it teaches you how to change the underlying relationship that you have with your emotions.

The primary problem that I come across in the clients that I work with is the problem of reactive identification. This is the process whereby you become identified with your anxiety.

So anxiety gets triggered in the mind and that is just a habit, a conditioned habit. But the real problem starts when you become identified with it. This is where you essentially become the emotion, where you become consumed by it, controlled by it, overwhelmed by the anxiety. So this is reactive identification and this is the key thing that you must change if you wish to break free from anxiety or depression. It's the same process in both conditions that really causes the problem to sustain itself.

You essentially end up feeding your anxiety or depression when you identify with it.

Other kinds of reactivity that reinforce anxiety and depression are typically the reaction of avoidance. Running away from your emotions. That will strengthen anxiety or depression because it cultivates fear of your own anxiety or depression.

And the other kind of reactivity that is very, very common is reactivity based on aversion: pushing the unpleasant emotions away. Trying to pretend that they're not there, trying to talk your way out of those emotions. These are all ways of pushing the emotion away, suppressing and pushing it into the subconscious and of course that will simply reinforce the habit that creates anxiety of depression.

And that's an important consideration. In my opinion, it is incorrect to call anxiety or depression an illness or chemical imbalance or any other disorder of that type. These are emotional states that are created psychologically in the mind in reaction to certain triggers. Now those triggers could include chemical imbalances in the mind, but not typically it is the anxiety or depression itself that leads to chemical imbalances in the mind and those imbalances simply reinforce and feed the underlying psychological condition.

So the way that we can overcome our anxiety or depression is by working on changing the way that we relate to our emotions. And this does not require medication. It simply requires very careful strategic focused attention on the relationship that you have with your emotions, and that is what we specialize in during Mindfulness Therapy. And I will teach you how to do this.

I have found this approach to be very effective. My clients really enjoy and feel empowered by this approach. And almost all of my clients are able to get off their medications once they start really applying the mindfulness techniques that I teach.

So if you'd like to learn more about mindfulness-based psychotherapy for overcoming anxiety and depression as well, then please go to my website and learn more about my services. And please e-mail me with any questions you might have. I will be happy to answer your e-mails. And when you feel ready we can then proceed to schedule the first online therapy session. And in that first session I will teach you the principles of how to apply mindfulness to work with anxiety and depression.

Most people really benefit tremendously from this approach and I typically tell people to look for changes very quickly after the first one or two sessions. If you start applying these techniques you will see changes quite quickly.

So if you're interested in Mindfulness Therapy for overcoming anxiety depression or any other emotional problem and you like the idea of learning how to do this yourself without relying on medications, then please go to my website and contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that was for you.

I see people throughout North America but also abroad. I am from the UK originally so of course I have many clients in the UK and Western Europe but I also see people in Australia and Japan and South Korea and so on.

Online Counseling for Anxiety available via Skype or FaceTime or Zoom

Please contact me via my website if you would like to talk to an online psychotherapist for help with anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, OCD and phobia.

So would you like to see an online therapist for anxiety? Seeing an online psychotherapist for the treatment of anxiety is a very good option if you specifically want to learn how to manage your anxiety yourself without relying on continual treatment by a psychotherapist or medications.

Medications are useful in some cases but typically do very little, indeed, to change the underlying cause of your anxiety. And that's what you really need to focus on if you want to recover.

So we don't want to become reliant on a therapist or medications or other treatment protocols to overcome our anxiety.

Rather focus your efforts on learning how to manage your emotions and thoughts more effectively. And that's what I teach during my online Mindfulness Therapy sessions.

I will show you very practical ways of eliminating anxiety by working with your emotions using mindfulness.

So Mindfulness Therapy is similar in some ways, some properties, to CBT but it's actually much more focused on helping you change emotions directly, on promoting healing rather than trying to get you to change your views or beliefs as is the typical focus in CBT.

We want to find those emotions that are stuck, essentially, and we want to help them change and heal so that you no longer feel anxiety when you encounter the triggers in your life that trigger anxiety. That's the goal and, in my opinion, Mindfulness Therapy is one of the most effective methods for achieving this goal.

So if you like to learn more and you are interested in seeing an online psychotherapist for anxiety then simply go to my website and contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that works for you.

Most of my clients come to me for help with anxiety and want to learn how to use mindfulness to overcome their anxiety.

Typically clients have already tried conventional talk therapy, sometimes for years. Most of my clients also have had experience with prescription medications and anti-anxiety medications, and usually want to do something different.

The overwhelming opinion from my clients is that talk therapy, just talking about your emotions, is not really very effective in the long term, and the same for medications, they may provide a temporary relief, but they do not provide a long-term solution for anxiety.

So people come to me, and if you want to start with me, then simply send me an email, and you will see significant improvements after the first three or four sessions with me because the focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to teach you how to work with your emotions and how to promote healing of the anxiety and depression and other emotional suffering.

So please contact me if you'd like to get started with online therapy for your anxiety. Thank you.

Online Counseling for Anxiety via Skype

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.

Online Mindfulness Counseling for Anxiety & Panic Attacks

My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional registered therapist based in Boulder, Colorado, USA. I offer online counseling via Skype. I will be most happy to answer your questions about therapy via Skype, and when you are ready, you can a Skype session with me. I typically see clients once-a-week for the first few weeks.

My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy for anxiety and other emotional problems that don't require medical treatments. So if you'd like to learn how to overcome anxiety disorder without medication then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service.

I employ mindfulness therapy as a way of working with the underlying psychological process that causes anxiety disorders. Essentially we have to change the underlying emotional habits, the blind reactive hobbits by which we become identified with the emotional reaction to triggers. Triggers could be events, it could be social interactions, it could be driving a car, it could be thoughts. Whatever the trigger, the effect is that it triggers this internal psychological reaction, and it's a conditioned process, that is, it happens unconsciously without us being aware of of what's happening.

So the first part of mindfulness therapy is about uncovering these unconscious habits by which we, if you like, fall into the trap of becoming reactive and suffering with anxiety or depression. So this is the most important thing, we have to uncover these habits and mindfulness provides a very, very effective way of doing this. Mindfulness is really a form of consciousness that we apply to the emotional habits that are causing problems for us.

We learn to, essentially, meditate on our anxiety and on the triggers that promote that anxiety. We focused conscious awareness on them, and then when we make them conscious then we can bring in the element of choice. We can begin to counter that habitual reaction to those triggers, and through time we we can desensitize ourselves, we can neutralize that habitual reaction, altogether, so that you can be in the anxiety producing situation without being overwhelmed by anxiety. So, this is what we explore during mindfulness therapy sessions and I will teach you practical mindfulness-based methods for working with your emotional reactions so that you can break free from them.

It's quite effective, and most people see dramatic changes to three to four sessions of mindfulness therapy once they start to really become more conscious of these emotional habits.
