Online Psychotherapist for treating Anxiety

"Having visited with many-a-therapist in the past, Dr. Strong stands out as a genuinely good listener and offers pointed and intuitive responses in return, that are real, constructive, and compassionate. His caring, non-judgmental, nature is apparent and has aided me in the healing process.”

During these sessions of Mindfulness Therapy I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for recovering from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, depression, and addiction, including alcohol addiction and other forms of emotional suffering, by applying the very practical methods of Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy.

This approach is extremely effective and you can expect to see tangible results after the first few online sessions with me.

Online Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy is very effective for overcoming anxiety and depression without the need for medications. It is better to treat the psychological cause of your psychological suffering instead of 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.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I provide online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression and many other common psychological problems that don't require medical treatment, that don't require medications, but can benefit from learning practical and effective strategies from managing the underlying reactive thinking and emotional reactivity that creates anxiety and depression.

So if you're looking for an online therapist for anxiety I do encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service. It's very popular and people really like the idea of online therapy. It's much more comfortable for you. And it's less intimidating, it's less clinical in nature, and much more focused on what we really need to address, which is learning practical ways of working with our emotions.

Now, I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly valuable for learning how to overcome anxiety and emotional reactivity in general. It allows us to break free from those underlying habits of reactivity that keep us in a state of suffering and prevent us from being who you want to be.

In reality, these are just habits. anxiety and depression are best understood as being psychological habits rather than being psychological illnesses. They are habits that are conditioned. We don't come into the world with anxiety or depression. We learn anxiety and depression and fear and other forms of emotional suffering. We learn them, and that tells us right there that these are best looked at as being habits and habits can be changed once you start breaking free from that process of becoming automatically lost in your emotional reactivity or cognitive reactivity.

This is the problem that we call "reactive identification" and that's really the heart of the problem, where anxiety or depression gets triggered and then we simply become overwhelmed by the anxiety and depression, we become consumed by it. And this simply feeds the habits. It's rather like an addiction. So we just become helpless at resisting the impulse to indulge further in the substance, if it's an addiction, or the emotional reactivity in the case of anxiety and depression.

So we change this habit by bringing mindfulness to it, which is really a form of consciousness. We learn to develop a more conscious relationship with these habits. And this is really, really important for breaking that automatic unconscious force that causes us to become lost in the habit.

So that's the first part of mindfulness therapy, learning to break free from the automatic and blind aspects of our emotional habits. The second part of Mindfulness Therapy is about healing the emotional suffering directly. And this we do by developing a mindful relationship with our emotional pain that is based on friendliness and compassion.

These are two key ingredients of mindfulness: friendliness and compassion. So friendliness refers to this process of, if you like, approaching the emotional suffering rather than running away from it or trying to avoid, or trying to suppress it. It's about opening awareness to embrace that suffering to help it heal. And compassion is that process of helping the anxiety or depression heal. And this is something we develop through training with those emotions. We deliberately bring those emotions into the mind in order to develop friendliness and compassion and we can help those emotions change and heal through that relationship.

So this is part of what I teach online during Skype therapy sessions. If you would like to learn more, please email me. Tell me more about how I can help you specifically, and if you like the idea of seeing an online therapist for help with anxiety, then please contact me and let's schedule a session. Thank you.

Online Therapist for Anxiety via Skype or FaceTime or Zoom

Welcome. If you'd like to see an online psychotherapist for anxiety, I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the online anxiety therapy service that I offer via Skype.

Many people prefer online therapy to the more conventional in person therapy because it's more convenient, obviously, and it also gives you a greater sense of control over your therapy process, over your recovery from emotional issues that you are dealing with.

Online Therapy is specifically designed to teach you new tools to work with your anxiety and also depression and other common psychological problems. It's designed to teach you how to change the relationship that you have with your anxiety.

The biggest problem that I've come across in my work as a psychotherapist is that people fall into the trap of what is called "reactive identification," that is that they become consumed and overwhelmed by their anxiety or other intense emotions that get triggered.

So anxiety is basically a habit. It is a series of conditioned reactions, habitual conditioned reactions, that are triggered by certain events, with certain thoughts or situations that produce severe anxiety or panic attacks or other forms of anxiety disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder.

Basically, the problem is that we become identified with these emotional reactions and their accompanying thoughts. And this is what we must train to reverse, by working with those thoughts and emotions.

I teach Mindfulness Therapy, which I have been teaching online for over ten years now, and I find that to be by far the most effective way for working with reactive emotions and thoughts. It teaches you how to establish a relationship with your emotions such that you are not overwhelmed by them that you do not become identified with them out of habit.

When you can establish a non-reactive relationship with your anxiety, then you can be much more effective in helping that anxiety heal and resolve itself. So Mindfulness Therapy is very good at doing this, in helping you overcome that habit of identifying with anxiety, and then promoting the right conditions for healing that anxiety.

Most people who I work with online can expect to see significant changes after just three or four sessions with me. The Mindfulness Therapy approach is extremely effective, and I invite you to see for yourself.

So please if you are interested in seeing a psychotherapist online and you would like to try working with an online therapist for help with your anxiety using Mindfulness Therapy, then please go to my website and email me and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype at a time that works for you and for me. 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.

So please contact me if you'd like to get started.

Best online treatment for anxiety and panic attacks

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado. I offer online therapy over Skype for working with anxiety and depression, addictions and many other common psychological problems that really benefit from the methods of Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I teach.

So people ask me all the time. Is it becoming more common now to do online therapy for anxiety or depression? And it is. More and more therapists are now offering online therapy because it makes it more available. And that's a great advantage. It gives you more choice to as a client. You can search online for the right therapist that you feel comfortable with and also to find someone who offers the right approach that resonates with you and your particular needs.

So online therapy is a very good option if you're looking for a non-medical treatment. And most people don't need medical treatment for their anxiety; they simply need to learn more effective ways of working with their anxiety and other emotions associated with anxiety.

So Mindfulness Therapy is one such approach and it is very effective indeed for really helping you heal the anxiety, changing the underlying cause of your anxiety, breaking free from that pattern of habitual reactivity that causes your anxiety.

Mindfulness training brings more and more consciousness to your anxiety so you see it more clearly, and when you can see it more clearly you're much more able to break free from those habitual reactive patterns which, of course, operate out of consciousness as all habits do.

So the first step in the Mindfulness Therapy approach is to develop a conscious relationship with your anxiety. Learning to see it more clearly and learning to break free from the reactivity that gets triggered in response to that anxiety.

So this is the first step, learning to see your anxiety clearly and then the second step is really responding to your anxiety with compassion and friendliness and the very qualities of mind that anxiety needs to heal. It cannot heal if we avoid it and it cannot heal if we react with hatred towards our anxiety and it cannot heal if we simply become lost in those habitual patterns of reactivity. But once we start developing a compassionate relationship with the emotion, itself, then we can greatly accelerate the rate of healing and recovery and resolution and freedom from these anxiety-producing habits.

So that's the main focus of Mindfulness Therapy and it is very effective and most of my clients see quite traumatic changes and improvements and reduction in the level of anxiety that they experience after the first three or four weeks working with me.

I see people once a week usually for about 60 minutes each session, that's usually sufficient. I don't believe you can do effective therapy under 60 Minutes. Sometimes I go to 90 minutes. It depends.

The focus of the online therapy that I offer is to work with your anxiety and actually do practical mindfulness work and exercises, including mindfulness meditation, during those sessions. The goal is to teach you methods that you can use yourself so that you don't become dependent on a therapist.

So if you would like to learn more about online therapy for anxiety, do please contact me and we can schedule a trial therapy session via Skype and you can see for yourself just how effective Mindfulness Therapy can be for allowing you to break free from the habits of anxiety. Thank you!
