Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"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!"
You can read more testimonials on my Testimonials Page.
Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is very effective because it works on healing the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just treating symptoms. The focus is on teaching you practical tools and techniques that you can apply yourself between sessions. This is why most of my clients notice improvements very much quicker than is reported for the more conventional “talk therapy.”

Skype with a therapist - Therapy over Skype for anxiety and depression
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.
If you are interested in working with an online Skype therapist then I invite you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service, and then simply contact me with any questions you may have about Skype Therapy and whether it's suitable for your particular needs.
Generally, people find working with a Skype therapist online to be just as effective as working with a therapist in person, and in some cases actually better, in my opinion, because it's more comfortable for you, the client. You're able to conduct your therapy sessions from the comfort and security of your own home and that can really improve the quality of recovery or psychotherapy in general.
So the style of therapy that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy. This is a system that I developed several years ago now and have been teaching worldwide. Most of my clients live in America but I also see people in Western Europe, the Middle East and as far away as Australia. All you need for working online with a Skype therapist is a good internet connection.
So mindfulness therapy is really a way of helping you change the way that you relate to your emotions. This is quite critical. Most of the time we simply become reactive and overwhelmed by conditioned emotional reactions. We simply become consumed by them. There's no relationship with our thoughts and with our emotions. So mindfulness is a way of training in becoming more conscious and more aware and less reactive.
You can learn to develop mindfulness towards your emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them, without becoming reactive and feeding the suffering.
So this is a very important part of Mindfulness Therapy: Learning how to change the relationship to your mind, essentially, to the contents of your mind.
The second part of mindfulness therapy is learning how to respond to unresolved emotions that are fueling all of this emotional suffering. So we learn to develop a compassionate relationship to our emotions, rather like developing a compassionate relationship towards a child that is in pain.
When you can establish that same quality of relationship with your emotions. you're creating the absolute perfect conditions for those emotions to heal and resolve themselves. This is a very important part of mindfulness therapy and training: Learning how to cultivate a conscious and friendly relationship to your emotional pain. This is essential for healing.
So if you'd like to learn more about this approach to working with anxiety and depression and addiction and other emotional suffering, do please go to my website and if you would like to talk to an online therapist via Skype simply email me and we can schedule the session that works for you. Thank you.

Talk to a Skype therapist
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado, but I offer online therapy via Skype worldwide. I see people throughout the USA but also in the UK and Western Europe and as far away as Australia.
People come to me because they're looking for a different way of working with anxiety or depression. A different approach that doesn't involve using medications or endless sessions of just talking about your emotions and your family history, and so on.
The conventional approaches that are what is most widely available for treating anxiety and depression don't seem to work particularly well for most people. Medications may produce short relief from symptoms, but medications will never change the underlying psychological process that's causing your anxiety or depression. And the same for conventional counseling or talk therapy.
Generally just talking about your emotions is not sufficient to change these underlying powerful habits that create your anxiety or depression. You need more than just talking about them. You need to explore the mechanism of how your mind works, how it actually creates anxiety or depression and that's the approach that we take in Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I specialize in and have worked on over many years now and find to be most effective.
My clients really enjoy the mindfulness approach for healing because it gives you practical and very effective tools for overcoming anxiety and depression, for healing anxiety and depression, not just coping with it. If you're interested in learning more about Mindfulness Therapy, then go to my website and read more pages and watch more videos there. And of course, email me anytime with any questions you may have about the mindfulness therapy approach.
So I offer online therapy via Skype. I really enjoy working with people over Skype because it's basically just as good as working in person if you can see each other, but it means that I can work with people all over the world. All you need is a good Internet connection. So I find that very appealing, myself.
It's also of course, very convenient for you to work with an online therapist over Skype. Being able to see a Skype therapist means you don't have to leave home, and if you're suffering from anxiety or depression or addiction, often it's difficult to leave home and it's often difficult to go and meet a therapist in their offices; it is too intimidating. So they added convenience and comfort of being able to talk to a therapist like myself from your own home is a very important factor, and it actually improves the effectiveness of your psychotherapy sessions.
It is really important. You should not really depend on treatment-based therapies, whatever they are, certainly not medications. But treatment-based approaches are not really empowering you; they are reinforcing the sense of being a victim that has to go to someone else to get their problems solved. And that's not my approach. I don't believe in that approach.
What I believe in is giving you the tools to work on your emotions yourself so that you can heal inside you can heal past trauma, which is often the starting place for anxiety and depression. It's about empowering you. That's the whole focus of mindfulness therapy.
We work on our emotions by bringing mindfulness to them. We learn how to form a different kind of relationship with our painful emotions that is not based on fear, that is not based on avoidance, that is not based on hatred, but is based on compassion. It's about learning how to develop a compassionate and conscious relationship with your anxiety or depression or any other emotion. This is central to Mindfulness Therapy. It's what really makes the difference.
Just talking about your emotions is not the same as developing a conscious and compassionate relationship. Typically, that is more of a process of being silent in relationship, the same way that you would comfort a child that was in pain. You don't just talk to the child endlessly about their emotions and trying to convince them not to feel afraid, if they're feeling fear, or not to be angry, if they are feeling anger. Talking like that is not really very effective.
And it's the same with our emotions. Just talking at them or trying to talk yourself out of feeling those emotions is not really a very effective approach. What is a pro effective is to learn to embrace those feelings with a great deal of compassion and acceptance, in addition to the other important quality of mindfulness, which is investigation, which means curiosity. How does it work?
In the case of emotions the emotions are fed by reactive thoughts. The first part of Mindfulness Therapy is learning to see all these reactive thoughts. That's part of the underlying habitual process that causes your anxiety and depression and that is not touched by medications. We get to see these thoughts in great detail and then as we become more conscious we can begin to change our relationship to those thoughts so that we gain more power and we can begin to reverse the habit of becoming identified with those thoughts and becoming imprisoned by the thoughts and beliefs that feed our anxiety or depression. That's really very important.
So, the first part of Mindfulness Therapy is learning how to relate to thoughts. When you can change that then you stop feeding the emotions that are in pain.
And then the second part is bringing this compassionate relationship to the emotion itself and exploring how you can comfort that emotion; seeing it very much as if it was an inner child or a small animal or, any case, something that you can relate to that's in pain. How would you comfort it? You already know how to do that. That's part of your true nature, your True Self. You know how to be compassionate and how to care for a child or an animal that is in pain. We need to apply this to our own emotions and this is very much of a focus in Mindfulness Therapy.
So if you'd like to get started with me. If You like the idea of working with a Skype therapist, then please contact me and let's schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that works for you and we can begin to explore how to apply mindfulness to produce effective and fast healing of your anxiety or depression or your addiction. Addiction is what we call a behavioral reaction to an unresolved emotion, generally some form of depression. That's the most common core emotion behind addiction. So if you want to get started with some online therapy sessions with me, then please contact me now. Thank you.
