Online Therapist for Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Disorder

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy for Overcoming Agoraphobia and Social Anxiety Disorder without using medications.

Speak with a Psychotherapist Online via Skype for effective online help and mindfulness-based therapy for overcoming Agoraphobia, Chronic Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Anxiety Disorder.

If you want to recover completely from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying conditioned anxiety reactions. 

Prescription medications don’t do this. Medications only treat anxiety symptoms, but do nothing to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety. To recover fully you need an effective form of psychotherapy that should include Exposure Therapy and CBT to manage anxiety-based thinking. You also need to work directly on the anxiety that feeds those thoughts.

During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on healing these habitual reactions directly at the psychological level. This approach is extremely effective and most of my clients see major improvements after 3-4 Skype Therapy sessions with me.

Online therapy is very effective as long as you use Skype, FaceTime or Zoom so that you can see each other. Being able to see each other is essential for good communication and good psychotherapy.

Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia

Mindfulness Therapy (MT) is a form of therapy that develops your ability to form a therapeutic relationship with your inner core emotions; your fears, anxiety and depression in which you first learn to stop the proliferation of reactivity and then embrace the painful emotion with the healing space of mindfulness. This is essential if you want to overcome anxiety and panic attacks. 

Most of the time, we avoid or resist our core anxiety and fears according to our learned patterns of habitual reactivity, but the truth is that nothing can change if we avoid or resist our emotions. We have to learn how to face our pain if things are to change. 

Mindfulness is a very compassionate practice that teaches us exactly how to go about doing this. It is not easy at first, but with continued practice using the tools I will teach you during online sessions, you will learn how to “sit” with your emotions and create that therapeutic relationship that is so essential for healing and transformation.

When you have learned how to “sit” with your anxiety and the other emotions associated with your agoraphobia then the emotions begin to change, and since you are not running away from them you can actually participate in helping the emotions heal. 

We learn to make friends with our emotions, a very important second step in the healing process. The age-old truth is that love heals. Reacting with hatred to your inner negative emotions can not help them heal, yet this is what we tend to do most of the time out of habit and wrong understanding.

Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"After just three sessions with Peter my OCD’s strength was cut in half, and then a few more sessions – it no longer had control over me. Even if intrusive thoughts came back they did not cause any or very little anxiety. My sleep got 1000% better, appetite came back."

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer mindfulness-based online psychotherapy for agoraphobia, anxiety disorders and panic attacks. 

The mindfulness approach is extremely effective and during online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your agoraphobic anxiety using the techniques of mindfulness to help you prevent your becoming overwhelmed by the anxiety reactions. We do this by actually meditating on our anxiety before we do any challenges. 

Meditating helps to change the relationship that you have with your anxiety and this is absolutely essential, because the biggest problem that I encounter is that people suffering from anxiety tend to become identified with their emotions. They tend to become consumed by their emotions. They effectively lose their identity and become the emotions and this creates a very reactive place that is very difficult to escape from. 

So with mindfulness training you can change this pattern and learn to develop a relationship with your anxiety whereby you do not become identified with it where you can see the anxiety as an observer. This is essential for change. Once you begin to do this the rate of recovery from agoraphobic anxiety and panic attacks increases dramatically, and most people will see quite substantial changes after only four or five sessions with me once they start applying the mindfulness-based techniques. 

So the basic idea is that you will schedule sessions with me and we will work on setting up a series of challenges that you can manage and then you prepare for these challenges using mindfulness meditation. You do that challenge and you meditate on any anxiety that arose during that challenge. And each time we learn a little more about how to change our relationship to our anxiety so that we basically break free from the habit of identification and becoming overwhelmed by it. And this approach is, from my experience, the most effective there is for overcoming agoraphobic anxiety. So if you'd like to get started with me simply go to my website and then email me to schedule a Skype therapy session with me.

How to Overcome Agoraphobia - Talk to an Online Therapist for agoraphobia

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional online psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia. If you're interested in learning more about how to overcome agoraphobia and other forms of panic disorder then do please go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness therapy methods, and feel free, at any time, to email me and ask any questions you have and I will explain to you in as much detail as I can how Mindfulness Therapy can help you overcome agoraphobia and other forms of severe anxiety. 

The key to the mindfulness therapy approach is to give you practical tools that you can apply yourself between sessions. And the two major approaches that you will be practicing yourself after I teach them to you are a combination of a disciplined approach to exposure challenges, so that you will be setting up a series of manageable challenges to extend beyond your comfort zone. And that should be done on a daily basis and often repeating those challenges many times during the day. 

So that's one part, setting up that strategy of regular disciplined challenges. But that alone is not enough. So that's one of the limitations of exposure therapy. Exposure itself is not enough. You can end up re-traumatizing yourself and making the anxiety worse. You must combine that exposure challenge strategy with adequate preparation and processing beforehand. So there's a training element and this is where the mindfulness therapy comes in. 

Basically, the way that works is that you rehearse the challenge before you do it. Many times you play it through in the mind, whatever that challenge might be. You imagine yourself walking to the edge of your comfort zone just sufficiently that you can access that anxiety. You then work on the most important thing of all which is changing your relationship to the habitual anxiety reactions that get triggered. 

The real problem that prevents anxiety disorders from healing and changing is the way that we get lost in habitual reactivity. We simply identify with that anxiety and we become our fear. What we need to do is change our relationship to the anxiety so that we can see it consciously as it arises, and cultivate balance in relationship to your anxiety. It's like learning to sit on the bank of the river and not fall in. That's the key component of mindfulness therapy that makes it so effective. 

Because anxiety arises is not the end of the story. It's only because we become identified with that and anxiety reaction. And then, of course, we tend to feed the anxiety with catastrophic thinking and all kinds of cognitive reactivity, as well. 

So by training with the anxiety reactions and thought reactions ahead of time you can basically disarm those habitual reactions before they get triggered. So, that's the training phase that you would do before each of your daily challenges. 

Then you do the challenge and during the challenge you basically just put into practice the training that you have perfected before the challenge. This is mostly about staying conscious staying awake, recognizing the reaction that arises, greeting it consciously and also with a degree of friendliness, which is very, very important in all mindfulness work, and not allowing that habitual reaction to take charge. 

And then after the completion of a challenge you might meditate again on any fresh anxiety that arose during that challenge. And again help process that reactivity so you can neutralize it. 

Then you can repeat the challenge again and each time the training gets stronger and stronger and stronger. 

Most people can expect to see quite significant improvements, and that includes a reduction in the intensity of anxiety, within three to four sessions, three to four weeks of practicing in exposure challenges and training. 

Eventually the training becomes so effective that the anxiety doesn't arise at all and that is a remarkable experience for people who have often struggled with agoraphobia or other forms of extreme anxiety for many years. 

So if you'd like to get started with online therapy for your agoraphobia or panic attacks,  send me an email then we can schedule a Skype session and we can get started.

See a therapist online by Skype for help with agoraphobia

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy. If you would like to see a therapist online for help with agoraphobia, then please do go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service. 

Many people come to me for help with agoraphobia and of course being able to see a therapist online is extremely valuable. If you're suffering from agoraphobia and you're experiencing the anxiety of leaving home of traveling to see a therapist in their office that's the major problem that we have to overcome. Of course with agoraphobia we have to learn how to address these anxiety reactions that you're having and if you can't leave home then that becomes very difficult. So the online therapy option is a very good choice if you are suffering from severe anxiety and agoraphobia. 

So the approach that I use for helping people overcome agoraphobia is called Mindfulness Therapy and it is a very effective approach, one that I have developed over the years and refined, and from my experience it's probably the best approach out there for helping you overcome those anxiety reactions so that you can leave home and go into previously difficult situations and difficult spaces that would have caused great anxiety in the past. 

Our mission here is to learn how to change those habitual anxiety reactions and mindfulness therapy is extremely good at doing this. It has some similarities to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but it's much more focused on working at the level of the anxiety itself. Mindfulness Therapy works more with emotions than thoughts because we see thoughts as being really the products of the underlying emotions rather than the other way round. So a common theme in Mindfulness Therapy is that we understand that thoughts do not cause anxiety but anxiety certainly causes a lot of thoughts that feed that anxiety. 

So we have to work with the underlying anxiety directly. You can't do that just by trying to change the thoughts. Those are simply the byproducts of that anxiety. 

So we do this by first of all designing a well-constructed schedule of exposure challenges. That is a necessary part of the recovery process. You design a series of challenges. It doesn't matter how small they are. The point is to do them well and to neutralize any anxiety reactions associated with that particular challenge. Then you progress to a more difficult challenge and you work with that in the same way using the various mindfulness techniques that I will teach you until you can do that challenge without any anxiety reactions at all and then he moved to another challenge and you move up a series of challenges progressing in difficulty until you can completely overcome all anxiety. 

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach and you'd like to schedule some Skype therapy sessions with me to work on your agoraphobia, or other form of anxiety, then do please contact me and we can get started.
