The principle healing factors cultivated during mindfulness-based psychotherapy are Conscious Awareness, which is vital for overcoming the negative habits that cause emotional suffering, and Inner Compassion, which is what allows healing and resolution of emotional pain.

Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness 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 Counseling Therapy – Very Effective for Anxiety & Depression without depending on drugs

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional online therapist and I offer therapy via Skype. Skype therapy is an immensely convenient and also very effective way of working on difficult emotions, including anxiety and depression. 

Many of my clients come to me for help with social anxiety disorder and of course I also see lots of people who are suffering from agoraphobia and are not able to leave their house to work with a therapist. 

So I would say most people who choose Skype therapy are looking for the greater convenience and independence that it offers. Many of my therapy clients live abroad and don't have access to a local therapist. Others live in rural areas of America or Canada or Australia even where it's difficult to find a local service to work with. 

So if you're interested in Skype therapy please go to my website and learn more about this approach. 

So mindfulness therapy which is what I offer online via Skype is a very effective way of changing those emotional habits that create anxiety and depression. We do this by breaking free from the blind reactive habit of becoming identified and reactive. This is the central problem that most people face. Thoughts for example, are common triggers that trigger anxiety and what happens is that the instant that the thought arises it instantly triggers the underlying anxiety. 

So we work on breaking this compulsive reactive habit so that even if the thought arises you don't have to react with anxiety or depression or any other emotional reaction. We learn to essentially isolate the triggers from the emotional reactions. 

This is very, very important indeed for changing anxiety and depression. You have to stop feeding the underlying emotion through reactivity. When you stop feeding it then the emotion will begin a process of what is called "auto-resolution." It will start to change itself if you don't feed it. The analogy here is like a fire. If you stop feeding a fire with fuel then that fire will automatically begin to burn itself out and eventually it will completely burn itself out so there is no fire left at all. 

The same principle applies to our emotions. If we stop feeding them through reactivity, through identification, through aversion and through avoidance, if we stop feeding them through these forms of reactivity, then those emotions will also burn themselves out. They will learn to change and resolve themselves. This is a very well demonstrated fact. 

So Skype therapy is an exciting option. It's very effective and it is just as effective as talking in-person if you're interested in changing emotional habits like anxiety or depression or OCD or addiction or social anxiety disorder. Any of these kind of emotional habits can be changed very effectively by mindfulness-based Skype therapy. So if you're interested in learning more to go to my website and email me. 

I see Skype therapy clients throughout the USA. I'm based in Colorado but I also see many clients in the UK and Europe and as far away as Singapore and Japan and Australia. All you need for Skype therapy is a good internet connection and of course you need a copy of Skype to download it on your laptop or on your iPhone or iPad or whatever device you use. You also will needs to use PayPal account to make payments for Skype therapy sessions. 

So all of this you can learn about on my web site. If you want to go ahead and schedule a Skype therapy session with me, simply go to my website and email me and we will exchange emails to find a time that works for you and for me, and it usually was quite quite well. If you are east of Colorado then it's going to be later in the day so that often works very well, especially for clients in Europe and the UK because it will be evening time for them there. 

So please feel free to email me to learn more about Skype therapy and how it can help you overcome anxiety, or how it can help you manage depression, or how it can help you with an addiction, or any other emotional problem.

Skype Counseling Therapy for Anxiety & Depression without using anti-anxiety medications or antidepressants

My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer Skype counseling therapy online via Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and addiction and other common emotional problems that benefit from the approach of mindfulness therapy, which is what I offer during these online therapy sessions. 

So Skype counseling therapy is a good option if you find it difficult to leave your house. So of course, I work a lot with the agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders. It's also a good choice if you are living in a remote area or where there are no local therapists available. It's also good choice if you prefer the greater privacy of having your sessions online where you don't want to meet a local therapist. I also work a lot with people living abroad as well who are looking for some help with anxiety or depression or other forms of emotional stress. 

The main thing when you're seeking any form of online therapy is that you use Skype or a similar video platform so you can see each other. If you can see each other then Skype therapy is just as effective as meeting in person. You certainly don't need to be physically present to receive good quality psychotherapy, but you do need to see each other because that allows a much better quality communication. So that's why I recommend using Skype. 

The style of psychotherapy that I offer online over Skype is called mindfulness therapy. This is a very effective way of working with the mind. Mindfulness describes a state of conscious awareness where we are able to be present consciously with the mind, with thoughts, with emotions, with memories, with trauma, without becoming reactive, without pushing painful emotions away, without grasping onto pleasant emotions, without avoiding emotional pain and without becoming overwhelmed by emotional pain either.

The goal of mindfulness therapy, which is a system of work that I have developed over the years, is to change the way that you relate to your emotions and particularly to emotional suffering. It's very important that you learn how to develop a conscious relationship that's open and non-reactive. This is essential to allow healing to occur. The reactivity to painful emotions is what creates suffering and is what prevents healing.

Skype Psychotherapy & Counseling Online without becoming dependent on anti-anxiety medications or antidepressants

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I provide Skype counseling therapy for anxiety and also for the treatment of depression and many other emotional problems that really benefit from the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy which is what I teach online. 

 So many people like the freedom offered by online therapy via Skype. You need to use Skype or face time or similar video platforms so that you can see each other. That's really quite important. If you can see each other then in my experience there's no difference in the effectiveness of online therapy and online counseling relative to meeting in person. 

 So the focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to teach you how to use mindfulness to work with your anxiety or depression or any other form of emotional suffering to facilitate it’s healing. So most people that I see suffer from anxiety. 

This is a very common condition that affects many, many people. And really it's not that difficult to transform anxiety and to break free from anxiety when you learn how to work with your emotions consciously using mindfulness. 

 So the most essential thing to do when you're working with anxiety is to learn how to change the anxiety thoughts, those thoughts that feed your anxiety. How to change them into mental objects that you can witness, that you can see consciously, but as an observer. 

This is the key part of the mindfulness training, is to learn to see thoughts as objects rather than blindly believing them, blindly identifying with those thoughts and beliefs and becoming overwhelmed by them. 

 So the greatest problem is this unconscious process that we call "reactive identification." Thoughts in themselves to not cause anxiety. That's a common misconception. Thoughts in themselves have no power whatsoever until you identify with them, until you take them to be truth, until you believe them in this blind unconscious manner. That's when the thoughts and beliefs take on power and will create anxiety. 

 So learning to dis-identify with thoughts is very important and that's a central focus. This does not mean trying to get rid of the thoughts or trying to avoid the thoughts in any way. If you try to get rid of thoughts or you try to not think about those thoughts then that will of course, cultivate more fear in the mind, which will feed the thoughts. 

 But when you can embrace the thoughts like objects and not identify with them. When you can embrace them completely, then that is a process that does not involve fear and will not feed those anxiety-producing thoughts. If you do not feed the anxiety then it will begin to change and heal. It will start a process of resolution as we call this in Mindfulness Therapy. 

 So a typical exercise would be to identify a thought and then move it and place it at a lower level. If you place it on the ground at a lower level it will have much less power than if it is operating at the level of the mind. If it's crowded into your head then that gives it power. But if you move it and put it on the floor that takes away its power. And generally if you create more and more space around the thoughts that takes away the power of those thoughts to create anxiety. 

 So working with imagery is a very powerful and very direct way of working with anxiety. I will teach you how to do this during our Skype counseling therapy sessions together. 

 If you would like to learn more about the mindful approach to working with anxiety and you liked the idea of a therapy via Skype then do please reach out to me and ask any questions you have and tell me more about your particular struggles, and I will be happy to explain to you more about how we can help you heal your anxiety using mindfulness. 

 This approach is really effective. In my opinion it is more effective than conventional talk therapy and it's certainly much more effective than medications, which do nothing to change the underlying psychology of anxiety - the relationship that you have with your thoughts and with the emotion itself. 

This is much more important and this is what will lead to the healing of anxiety. Anxiety cannot heal if you do not change the way you relate to your emotions and thoughts. Medications simply interrupt that process of learning how to relate to your mind more effectively. 

 So if you would like to learn more about how to overcome your anxiety using Skype counseling and therapy based on mindfulness, then please email me and lets schedule a Skype therapy session.
