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

"Beyond healing the anxiety, my whole inner landscape is changing. I’m learning that the self-criticism, shame and doubt I have been stuck in for so long can all be met with compassionate awareness and brought to resolution. I’m starting to feel the joy Peter talks about and a real tenderness toward myself and others."

Speak with an Online Therapist via Skype for Anxiety and Depression Counseling

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist. If you would like to talk to a therapist online, the best way to do that is to find a therapist who offers Skype therapy sessions. Skype allows you to talk in real time and it's really equivalent to meeting face-to-face in the therapist's office, but of course, it's much more convenient for you because you don't have to leave your home or office, or if you are traveling it's much easier to talk to a therapist via Skype and continue your sessions wherever you live.

So, talking to a therapist through Skype is one of the most effective ways to get ongoing help for managing difficult emotional problems such as chronic anxiety, depression, and also for help with addictions as well.

Many of my clients live abroad or they live in the rural areas of the US and find it difficult to find a local therapist to help them work with anxiety, depression, addictions or other emotional problems.

So, if you are interested in learning more about talking to a therapist online via Skype, do please visit my website, which is counselingtherapyonline.com, and also visit my YouTube channel and subscribe and learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach that I offer via Skype.

People search for this form of therapy as an alternative to the older style of talk therapy, which may help with relieving symptoms but it does very little to change the underlying cause of your anxiety, depression or addiction. The system of Mindfulness Therapy that I developed many years ago now and talk about in my book, 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation', is very much focused on helping you change your underlying relationship to the very process that creates anxiety or depression.

The central theme of Mindfulness Therapy is learning how to break the habit of becoming identified and overwhelmed by habitual reactive thinking and by reactive emotions. We tend to get lost in our thoughts and our emotional habits and this simply feeds the emotional problem whether it's anxiety, depression or addiction.

So, that's what I focus on in the online therapy sessions that I offer via Skype. Please feel free to contact me through email and we can discuss further how Mindfulness Therapy and the online therapy approach can help you manage your emotions more effectively. I look forward to hearing from you.

People really like the convenience of online counseling and my clients like an approach that focuses on teaching practical mindfulness methods that you can apply by yourself...

If you would like to talk with a therapist online I invite you to go to my website and learn more about online psychotherapy via Skype. 

I find it very effective and most of my clients really enjoy the online therapy option. It's much easier and more convenient to talk to a therapist online and get help for your anxiety or depression or other emotional problems than it is to go to a therapist's office. 

It's also much less intimidating for most people. Most people find therapy via Skype to be considerably more comfortable. And this is really quite important because the success of your therapy sessions really largely depends on how comfortable you feel and how quickly you learn what is being taught. 

So during these online therapy sessions I try to really focus on teaching you practical skills and tools that you can apply yourself to help you overcome anxiety and depression, and also for working with addictions. Most of my clients suffer from anxiety so I really specialize in teaching mindfulness based methods for working with anxiety. 

During the therapy sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety or other emotional difficulties that you may be experiencing. The mindfulness based approach is very effective indeed and quite easy to learn and generally you can expect to see quite significant changes after the first few sessions. 

Even after the very first session you can expect to see quite dramatic changes and you will get the kind of tools that you can use between sessions to help improve your skills for managing your anxiety. And that's my goal is to give you the tools for working with your anxiety not to become reliant on a therapist and certainly not become reliant on medications. 

Medications to not treat the underlying cause of anxiety. At best they may provide a temporary reduction in the symptoms of anxiety, but they don't treat the underlying cause, so medication is not a long term solution. The only effective long term solution is to learn how to work with your mind, with the thoughts and beliefs, memories and habitual emotional reactivity that feeds your anxiety or depression or addiction. 

So if you'd like to learn more and you'd like to talk with a therapist online via Skype, simply go to my website and please email me if you have any questions and I'll be happy to schedule a trial Skype Therapy session with you, where we can explore some of these principles and I can get you started right away in learning how to apply mindfulness for overcoming your anxiety or depression. Thank you.

Talk to a Psychotherapist Online - Counseling via Skype

If you would like to talk to a therapist online anonymously and in private I encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online Skype Therapy Service that I offer. 

I specialize in online Mindfulness Therapy which I deliver over Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression, for help with addictions and many other common psychological and emotional difficulties that don't require medical treatment. 

Many people like the greater privacy offered by online therapy. It feels more comfortable in general if you don't have to meet with a psychotherapist in person. So that's one of the great advantages of online therapy. This greater privacy and greater comfort for you the client. 

Another reason why people like online therapy is because it makes them feel more in charge of their recovery process and this can be very important especially if you are dealing with anxiety or depression or addiction. 

People want to feel empowered. They want to feel that they're learning how to cope with their emotions and not just going to someone for treatment by some methodology or with medications. 

Treatments don't really help you change the underlying cause of your suffering. You have to work with your mind your self and work with the underlying habits that create your anxiety or depression or that fuel your addiction which is often simply a way of coping with depression or other extreme form of emotional suffering or stress. 

So people often come to me for help with addictions. And again they like the anonymity and the privacy offered through online therapy for addiction. It means you can have your sessions without having to leave home. You don't have to go to a facility to receive counseling. 

You can basically work from home with me and I will teach you the necessary skills to manage your emotions so that you don't become overwhelmed by your emotional reactions, whether that's depression or anxiety or difficulty with intrusive thoughts or PTSD, trying to deal with emotional trauma. 

It's the same process. You have to learn how to work with those memories and emotions and thought patterns yourself. And I will teach you how to do this through with a methods of Mindfulness Therapy which are amazingly effective for working with the mind. 

If you'd like to learn more about seeing a therapist in private then please go to my website and feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have about this process. I do not work through insurance companies. This is a private psychotherapy practice. 

So there are no records kept about your medical condition or anything else. This is purely a process where I will work with you and teach you skills for working with your emotions yourself. Most people see tremendous improvements in a relatively short time you should expect to see improvements after the first three to four sessions. 

If you'd like to learn more please email me and let's get started and you can see for yourself the many advantages of working with an online therapist.

If you would like to schedule some online counseling sessions with me to help you learn how to work with anxiety or depression or addiction using Mindfulness Therapy then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service. 

Seeing a therapist online is very convenient. It's also very effective as well especially if you are interested in a style of therapy like Mindfulness Therapy which is designed to teach you more effective methods of working with your anxiety or depression or addiction. Other styles of therapy are more treatment-based. That is they basically try to apply a methodology that is supposed to make the anxiety or depression go away. I do not advocate treatment-based approaches, or medications either, because they may provide a temporary solution but they will do nothing to give you those tools that you really need to change the underlying psychological habits that cause your anxiety or depression or addiction. 

You have to work with those habits and that is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy. It Is designed to give you the tools that you can apply yourself to learn from your own mind how to work with these habits, how to resolve them, overcome them and establish more positive habits that lead to wellbeing and happiness. 

Mindfulness Therapy is a way of bringing conscious awareness to uncover these habits. The first major issue with anxiety and depression is that we simply do not see those habits. They tend to become unconscious and they become reactive like any habits. They thrive when they are unconscious and they will continue to operate forever until you begin to bring consciousness to them, and consciousness is often described as the "habit breaker." So the first step of mindfulness is bringing lots and lots of consciousness to your emotions and your thought patterns, whatever is creating your emotional suffering. 

The primary way we do this is to meditate on our emotions. Most people try to escape their emotional pain and they use meditation to escape the emotional pain, but again, that approach is not going to heal the underlying process that causes your suffering. If you want to be free from anxiety and depression then you must develop more awareness, not less. 

Now the process of meditation is one of establishing a conscious relationship with your mind, with your emotions and thoughts, in which you learn how to stay present with emotional pain without becoming overwhelmed, without becoming identified with the content and without becoming reactive with hatred or fear to those emotions. 

We have to stay present if you want to change your anxiety or depression so we learn to develop presence, being totally present with our emotions, and that is the core concept behind mindfulness. It's all about being present. 

So in Mindfulness Therapy we do just that, we look at the underlying habits. First we establish a non-reactive relationship with our emotions and thoughts. 

The second thing we do is investigate the structure of those emotions and thoughts. This is, what makes the emotions work. And the primary mechanism that we explore when we look at the structure of emotions is emotional imagery. The imagery of the emotion itself is what, technically speaking, is the cause of the emotion. 

It's not the story, it's not the narrative, it's not the history, it's the imagery that is formed in the mind. That is what causes the emotion. Everything else is a trigger that triggers that imagery but the imagery causes the anxiety or depression. So uncovering this imagery is a vital part of Mindfulness Therapy.

Addictions typically are behavioral reactions to anxiety and depression. So when you can heal the underlying emotions you can take away the fuel that feeds addiction in the vast majority of cases. People usually use alcohol and other substances like that, and drugs to try and escape their anxiety or depression. And of course it simply does not work. It provides a short term solution, as does prescription medications, but it does not address the underlying cause, and that is psychological. We need to work on those underlying blind habitual habits and Mindfulness Therapy, in my opinion, is one of the best approaches to this. So please contact me so we can schedule an online therapy session.
