Skype Therapy Now - Talk to a Therapist Over Skype for help with Anxiety

The primary focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to treat the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction, stress, PTSD and emotional trauma and other forms of emotional suffering rather than just trying to manage symptoms through medication.

Almost everyone who seeks my help has already tried medication or conventional counseling and are definitely looking for an alternative approach, a more holistic approach that focuses on healing rather than just trying to reduce symptoms. We want to be FREE from anxiety and depression, not just endlessly try to manage symptoms.

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

“Dr. Strong helped me through the most difficult time of my life. I wasn’t able to leave the house for over five months due to crippling anxiety. Dr. Strong was able to help me welcome my anxiety and take care of it in order to heal it. I had always thought anxiety was something to push away and fear, but through meditation and welcoming my anxiety, I learned I can truly enjoy experiences that would otherwise trigger anxiety. Everything else I have tried has not come close to the healing and happiness I have experienced through Dr. Strong’s sessions. He is very kind and honest and I couldn’t have healed my anxiety without him. Every day is different, but even after ending our sessions, his counseling has proved invaluable. Thank you Dr. Strong!”

Skype Therapy - Skype Counseling Therapy Service

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer Skype Therapy. Skype counseling and therapy is a very effective way of working with difficult emotions without using medications but rather learning ways of working with your emotions using mindfulness therapy, which is what I teach online through Skype.

Medications may have some value in some cases but it's important to realize that they only treat symptoms, they do not change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression. That the underlying cause is basically psychological in nature for most people most of the time. It is a habit. It is a form of reactive thinking and emotional reactivity and behavioral reactivity that all feeds particular emotional formation of anxiety or depression or OCD or addiction. These are habits. Habits can be changed and when you learn the mindfulness techniques that I teach, you will be able to change your anxiety and depression, you'll be able to break free from these habits.

The first thing to understand is that all habits operate essentially unconsciously out of awareness on autopilot. This is the biggest problem that we have to overcome straight away. We have to develop a much more conscious awareness around our emotional reactivity. We have to bring consciousness to our anxiety or depression instead of running away from it or trying to find a distraction from it or through medications, which is really just another form of avoidance.

So bringing conscious awareness to our habits is the first step in changing those habits. And that we do in mindfulness therapy by actually meditating on our emotions and on our intrusive thoughts and on our emotional trauma, whatever it might be. We learn to meditate on the mind, on these emotional habits. This means that we deliberately choose to bring the painful emotion or the intrusive thoughts into the mind, but consciously under our direction, rather than have them just show up unconsciously due to the habitual reactivity. So this is the difference. Bringing them in consciously puts us in a place of power in relationship to those emotional habits.

Then we can begin to cultivate this conscious relationship and in so doing we gain more and more freedom. We can essentially sit with the anxiety or depression and not be controlled by it. So this is a training process. We are choosing to train with our emotions so that we gain more and more freedom. Even if they are there. Even if anxiety or depression is still triggered we are no longer controlled by our emotions. That's the first goal of mindfulness therapy and mindfulness meditation: to gain freedom.

The mindfulness therapy approach that I teach by Skype is immensely effective and you should and you can expect to see significant changes after the first two or three sessions once you start applying the techniques that I will teach you in the first couple of sessions. So it's a very fast way of achieving quite substantial results. So that's another thing that I like. It's not like classical talk therapy. That tends to be very long winded and doesn't really give you tools for resolving your emotional suffering. In Skype Therapy move very fast. We train in a very focused way using mindfulness based methods.

So if this interests you please contact me by e-mail and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Let's schedule a trial Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself whether this approach is right for you. It certainly is for the vast majority of people who are struggling with anxiety or depression or addictions. So please contact me if you'd like to schedule's Skype therapy.

Traditional counseling can be helpful, but often common talk therapy does not transform the habitual psychological process that is the real cause of your anxiety and depression.

The same can be said for medications - prescription medications may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to transform the underlying psychological process that causes your anxiety or depression.

The school of psychotherapy that I provide is called Mindfulness Therapy, which can be extremely effective for controlling chronic anxiety and for treating depression and other psychological issues resulting from conditioned negative thinking. Most people notice quite significant changes after 3-4 sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.

Skype therapy is a very convenient option if you are living abroad or if you are living in an area where it is difficult to find a psychotherapist to work with, if its a rural area or if you are living in a foreign country. It may be difficult to find a local therapist.

Also, a lot of people are looking for alternative to the traditional medical approach to psychotherapy. A lot of people are looking for newer styles of psychotherapy such as CBT or Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I offer online. It's about really learning how to take charge of your own emotional well-being, by learning practical, effective skills and methods for overcoming tour anxiety or depression or other emotional suffering that is affecting the quality of your life or relationships.

The mindfulness techniques that I teach and offer online in these counseling sessions is particularly effective for overcoming anxiety.

When I talk to people in this position, it becomes immediately clear that even though they have done all this work on their anxiety or panic attacks, they have never actually looked at the mechanism that produces that anxiety - the underlying emotional reactivity and how that works.

It is really important to actually look and see how the anxiety works, and this is one of the characteristics of Mindfulness Therapy. Rather than talking about your anxiety or your family history or trying to uncover repressed memories or other potential trigger points for your anxiety.

We really examine the mechanism of how it operates right now, because that is what you can change. You can change the actual structure of the emotional reaction itself through mindfulness. This often involves looking at the imagery of the emotion. This is quite an interesting area for most people.

All emotions are based around psychological imagery that forms in the mind. That imagery essentially is an organizing principle that holds that emotional energy together and creates an emotion like anxiety or depression or anger. They will all have different imagery.

During Mindfulness Therapy we take great interest in uncovering this imagery. We look at it by focusing on the emotions themselves, directly, to see what is there. So, this very direct approach is a characteristic of mindfulness, and Mindfulness Therapy as I teach it and have developed over many years now, really focuses on helping you change the imagery of the emotion, because when you change that, you change the emotion quite significantly. The imagery is an absolute requirement for an emotion. If you change the imagery you change the emotion. So, that is one aspect of Mindfulness Therapy.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist and I offer Skype psychotherapy online.

Psychotherapy through Skype is becoming much more common and widely accepted these days especially for the non-medical treatment options, which is what I offer. The Skype therapy sessions that I offer are primarily designed to help you learn very effective methods of overcoming those habitual patterns of anxiety or depression that get triggered and that create so much suffering for you.

Anxiety and depression are at the end of the day primarily emotional habits; these are psychological habits; it is a psychological process that produces anxiety and depression.

The best means for changing a psychological habit is going to be some form of psychotherapy; and that's what I offer. I offer online psychotherapy using, actually, a system that I developed some years ago that I call Mindfulness Therapy, which is very effective for changing those habitual patterns of reactive thinking and emotional reactivity that feeds anxiety and depression.

Th first stage in effective Skype psychotherapy is learning to change the way that you relate to your emotions. We have to learn to become The Observer, to become conscious of your anxiety or depression or other emotions that appear in the mind, that get triggered because of these habits. We need to become conscious of them, but without becoming reactive and without becoming overwhelmed by the emotion. You have to develop what we call a Mindfulness-Based Relationship with your anxiety or depression or other emotions.

With training and with practice you can begin to break free from the habit itself, and when you stop feeding the habit then the emotion begins to subside. It will heal quite naturally by itself if you stop feeding it through becoming identified with the anxiety or depression.

During Mindfulness Therapy sessions we learn to effectively sit with our emotions and care for them with a quality of compassion and friendliness along with a great deal of conscious awareness. So, we learn to care for our emotions, we learn to take care of them the same way that a parent would take care of a child in pain.

This relationship is absolutely fundamental to successful psychotherapy. In my opinion, it is the defining factor as to whether psychotherapy is effective or not. It is the quality of relationship that you build with your emotions that matters.
