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, OCD, persistent depression, and for help with and other forms of emotional suffering, by using the very effective teachings of Mindfulness Meditation Therapy.
This approach is particularly effective and most of my clients/students notice significant changes after the first few online sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy is highly effective for stopping anxiety and depression without the need for anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants. Treat the underlying cause of your emotional pain as opposed to just suppressing symptoms.
The principle healing factors developed during Mindfulness Therapy are Conscious Awareness, which is necessary for breaking free from the unconscious psychological habits that cause emotional suffering, and Inner Compassion, which is what promotes healing and resolution of anxiety and depression.
Here is one of many testimonials:
"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.”

Best Online Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
Online Mindfulness Therapy For Anxiety & Depression
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional Online Therapist. I specialize in mindfulness therapy for treating anxiety, for help with panic attacks, for help with depression and OCD and many other emotional problems that cause distress.
So if you're looking for the best online therapy sites available, you need to find those that are allowing you to talk to a therapist in person and also to be able to see them using a video conferencing technology like Skype or FaceTime. The best online therapy must include this visual component as well as being able to talk to each other in real time. This will greatly improve the quality of communication and of course that is essential for any form of psychotherapy.
The next thing you should be looking for for the best online psychotherapy service is one which really focuses more on helping you change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just talking about your emotions.
There are many chat sites which allow you to simply vent your feelings to someone who is willing to listen and be receptive and that of course is very helpful. But it's important to understand that talking alone will not change the underlying habitual process that causes your emotional suffering. That needs more than just chat or talking. You need to work with a therapist who can help you change the underlying structure of your emotions. And this we do at two levels really the first level is working with thoughts, reactive thoughts. So CBT the cognitive behavioral therapy approach is very good for this. So the best online therapy a service is going to offer you some form of CBT.
I teach mindfulness therapy, which incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, but also works more at the level of emotions. It helps you change the structure of the emotions themselves. The most important thing you will learn from working with the best online therapy sites is how to stop this habit of becoming overwhelmed, becoming identified by thoughts and by the emotions themselves. This is a problem that we call "reactive identification" and it's really the main issue that we have to change, and mindfulness therapy is one of the best ways of doing this, of essentially learning how not to be overwhelmed by thoughts or emotional reactive habits.
You can learn to see a thought or an emotion without becoming reactive, without becoming overwhelmed. That's the whole thrust behind mindfulness therapy. So whereas cognitive behavioral therapy focuses more on trying to challenge and prevent you having thoughts, it tries to teach you to change the thoughts directly, Mindfulness therapy tries to help you change your relationship to thoughts, so that they cease to have power over you, and that I have found to be the best approach, especially for anxiety.
So if you're interested in learning more about online therapy for anxiety and for depression and you'd like to learn more about the best online therapy service for your particular needs, please do contact me and ask any questions you have about the online therapy process and also about mindfulness therapy and how it can help you.
I look forward to hearing from you and working with you using the techniques of mindfulness therapy and CBT, and please email me and ask me any questions you might have, and when you feel ready we can schedule an online therapy session over Skype or FaceTime and then we can get started.
Most of my clients see quite dramatic results when they start really working on that underlying process that causes anxiety or depression. And it doesn't take that long. So you can expect to see quite significant changes usually within three to four sessions once you start really addressing the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression. So I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Online Therapy For Anxiety & Depression via Skype
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in online therapy that I provide over Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and other emotional problems without the use of medications.
This is not a medical treatment. This is a form of psychotherapy called mindfulness therapy that I've developed over the years and found to be particularly effective for anxiety and depression. So I'm often asked is online therapy as effective as in person therapy? And the answer is yes it is, certainly.
For the vast majority of people online therapy is just as effective as therapy in person, especially if you use Skype or similar video platform so you can see each other. That's the key ingredient. You must be able to see each other to really have good communication which is so important for effective psychotherapy. So if you can see each other then in my opinion there is no appreciable difference between online therapy and therapy in the therapist's office.
Now online therapy does offer some advantages. Clearly it's more convenient for you the client, because it means you can conduct your therapy sessions from home or from work or even in your car. All you need is a quiet place and a good internet reception and then you can conduct online therapy.
So people like the convenience, and people living in remote areas or for people living abroad, if you're based in a foreign country, you may not have access to the right kind of psychotherapist. And so online therapy gives you greater options for getting the kind of help that you are looking for from managing emotional problems such as anxiety or depression or addiction.
A lot of people like the greater privacy offered by online therapy. You don't have to wait in a therapist's office or similar public environment like that. You can conduct your sessions in the privacy of your own home and that's a big factor especially if you are struggling with a difficult set of emotions that you might be experiencing such as with depression or with addiction. So that greater level of privacy from your point of view is often just what we're looking for.
The other advantage of online therapy is that it's more comfortable for you as well. It's much less intimidating than the more typical clinical based therapy that's offered in a psychotherapist's office setting. From my point of view, my philosophy, is that we want to make psychotherapy as comfortable as possible. It should not be clinical in nature.
I personally do not advocate a medical approach for treating anxiety or depression. Medications may have some value in controlling symptoms but medications will do very little indeed to change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression or addiction. That requires the right kind of psychological help, working with the underlying habits that cause your anxiety or depression or other emotional problem.
So the style of psychotherapy that I specialize in and find works best for the vast majority of people online is mindfulness therapy. This is a particular system of psychotherapy that I've developed over the last ten years or more that really focuses on working with those underlying habits which are primarily based around habitual reactive thinking.
So anxiety and depression are habits. They are learned habits. We are not born with anxiety or depression. We acquire these habits through time and often through trying to cope with emotional trauma in childhood. It's very common as a common starting point for the anxiety habits of the depression habit. Addiction often flows from that underlying anxiety or depression.
So we work on these habits very, very systematically in a focused way. We learn to dis-identify from the reactive thoughts. We learn to establish a healing relationship with the emotions based on compassion, which is a very important part of mindfulness teaching in general.
So if you'd like to learn more about Skype counseling therapy for anxiety or depression. If you would like to start sessions with me, then reach out to me by email. Simply contact me through my website and we can schedule a Skype counseling session at a time that works for you.

Best Online Therapy Sites using Skype
There are now many online therapy sites to choose from that are offering some form of counseling or coaching or psychotherapy. The online therapy option is, of course, very convenient for people because it means that you can conduct your therapy session from the comfort of your home or your office or wherever you are, and you can have a therapy session with your therapist at a time that is convenient for you.
If you are living abroad, then, of course, working through some online therapy service is going to be very convenient indeed. So, it's certainly worth considering, looking at various online therapy websites to find one that serves you best. They are very different in quality, some are basically just directories that will put you in touch with a therapist, and others are really high quality, offering you really effective help for managing whatever emotional difficulties you are experiencing.
During the online therapy sessions that I offer I will be helping you learn much more effective ways of managing anxiety and depression using the very practical methods of Mindfulness Therapy, which I developed some years ago, now.
These techniques of Mindfulness Therapy are designed to help you change the actual process that creates anxiety and depression. This is quite different than conventional talk therapy, or counseling. I want to help you break free from those underlying psychological habits that cause your anxiety or depression or addiction.
We do this by focusing on changing the way that you relate to your emotions. This the most important first step in Mindfulness Therapy. Most of the time we are simply overwhelmed by our emotions. We are not aware of our emotional habits and whenever they get triggered we simply become identified with our emotions or thoughts or beliefs, and then we act them out. It's an automatic process that gets triggered and this is what we aim to change during our online mindfulness therapy sessions.
I will teach you how to become more aware of these emotional habits and how to break free from them through changing your relationship to your emotional habits. The trick is to see them as basically objects that arise in your mind, without becoming identified with them.
Just because a habit gets triggered does not mean that we have to become that emotion or that thought. We can see the thought or the emotion as an object. We can observe the emotion or thought without becoming identified with it, without becoming controlled by the emotion or thoughts that arise.
So, this is learning to develop what is sometime called emotional tolerance or, what I call, gaining independence from the content of mind. You can learn to observe the contents of mind without becoming identified with them.
This is a very important step that we learn during mindfulness therapy sessions, because when you can become independent from your thoughts and emotions, then you create a space in which you can begin to change those thoughts and emotional habits. You can begin to change them and effectively neutralize them through developing more conscious awareness and choice.
So, this is one aspect of Mindfulness Therapy. If you would like to learn more about how to overcome difficult emotions, please go to my website, the link is below, and email me and then we can schedule a Skype therapy session. Thank you!
