Conventional talk therapy can be helpful, but often common talk therapy does not alter the underlying structure that is the real cause of your emotional suffering.

The same can be said for medications - prescription medications may relieve symptoms for a while, but medications can not heal the underlying process that generates your emotional suffering.

The style of psychotherapy that I offer is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is quite effective for controlling chronic anxiety and for treating chronic depression or other emotional issues caused by conditioned reactive thinking. Most people notice significant reduction in the level of anxiety and depression after 3-4 sessions of Skype Therapy.

If you're interested in online psychotherapy and counseling to help you overcome anxiety or depression or an addiction or any other emotional problem, you might consider talking to a therapist online. Being able to talk to a therapist online is really quite an effective way of getting the help that you need to to manage difficult emotional problems. I see clients online on a daily basis and have done so for many years now and it's definitely just as effective to speak to a therapist online as it is to see the therapist in-person. 

The focus of the online therapy service that I offer is to teach you practical ways of managing difficult emotions. The principal habit that most people experience is one of becoming identified with emotions and with reactive thoughts. We tend to get lost in these patterns of habitual reactivity that simply feed our anxiety or depression, so the the most essential step in successful psychotherapy is to learn how to break the cycle of reactive identification, to be able to become the observer of your emotions and thoughts without becoming lost in them. 

This is essential because if you continue to simply become lost in thoughts or emotions or emotional trauma then you simply reinforce the underlying emotions. During mindfulness therapy, which is what I specialize in, we learn exactly how to do this, how to become the observer and how to develop independence in relationship to our emotions. This is the most important step for producing change. 

If you like to see a therapist online and learn some of the mindfulness techniques that I teach to please go to my website and email me. We can schedule a Skype counseling session at a time that works for you. I see people throughout North America and abroad in Europe and the Middle East and as far away as New Zealand. So if you are interested in learning how to overcome the patterns of emotional reactivity and you'd like to talk to a therapist online please email me and we can schedule a session.

Talk to an Online Mindfulness Psychotherapist for Managing Anxiety and Depression via Skype

Contact me if you would like to talk to a therapist online for help with anxiety or depression or if you would like to speak with a therapist for online help for recovery from an addiction.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I provides online psychotherapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression. If you'd like to talk to a therapist online for anxiety or if you'd like to speak to a therapist online for help with depression or if you'd like to talk with a therapist online for help with recovery from an addiction, then I invite you to go to my website and read more about online therapy and how it can help you overcome your anxiety or depression or addiction or other emotional problems. 

My clients really enjoy talking to a therapist online because it's more convenient. It's easier to fit into a busy work schedule, and it's also very much more comfortable for you because you can have your session from home. You don't have to travel to a clinic or a therapist's office. So it's also generally less intimidating talking via Skype than it is talking in person. And this is quite important especially if you're working with anxiety, depression or addiction. People are often very uncomfortable about their emotional states and they don't like talking to a person directly. It's therefore a lot easier to talk about your emotional well-being online. 

Also the style of therapy that I provide is not readily available, is called mindfulness therapy, and many people specifically choose this approach for working with anxiety or depression or addiction. 

So mindfulness therapy is really quite different than traditional talk therapy or counseling. It's very different than psychoanalysis. It's not a process of trying to explain why you feel anxiety or depression, it is not trying to uncover the past or analyze your upbringing. Instead mindfulness therapy focuses on what you can do right now to change the psychological habits that are creating your anxiety or depression or the psychological habits that are fueling your addiction. 

So during mindfulness therapy sessions I will teach you very practical ways of working with your emotions using mindfulness. The results are quite spectacular. Most people see very fast progress and generally I expect you to see significant changes in the intensity of your anxiety or depression within three to four sessions. I think that's quite important. You should see results. Psychotherapy should not be a process that takes countless sessions over the years to achieve results. 

To me that simply indicates an inefficient process. Learning how to work with your emotions and overcoming anxiety or depression or addiction is simply a function of learning practical and effective strategic methods. And that's what we teach during online therapy sessions. 

If you'd like to learn more and you are interested in talking to a therapist online via Skype then simply go to my website and send me an email and we can schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you. Thank you.

Talk to an Online Mindfulness Psychotherapist for Managing Anxiety and Depression via Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety and depression and also addictions using mindfulness therapy. So if you'd like to talk to a therapist online and you like the Mindfulness Therapy approach then please contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session. 

All my therapy sessions are via Skype. It's very important that you use Skype or face time so that you can see each other. If you can see each other then the communication will be much better and is really just as good as meeting a therapist in person, especially if you are interested in an approach like Mindfulness Therapy that's focused on teaching you practical ways of working with your anxiety and depression or other emotional conditions yourself. 

This is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy. It Is about empowering you, giving you the tools to work with difficult emotions that need healing, and I will teach you during our online therapy sessions how to use mindfulness to promote healing of anxiety, depression and other forms of emotional suffering. 

So the mindfulness approach is really one of building conscious attention around the emotions that are bothering you. It's about turning towards your anxiety or depression rather than trying to run away from them. The avoidance reactions are quite natural and common, but unfortunately if you avoid the emotional pain it cannot heal. So since our mission is to heal anxiety or depression we must generate more conscious awareness around the emotions that are in pain. 

We effectively see those emotions as being what they really are, which is mental objects. They are habits that get triggered and appear in the mind when they are triggered as mental objects. We learn to relate to them in that way as mental objects instead of becoming identified with them. 

So we do this by meditating on our emotions. We place them as the primary objects of meditation so they become an object of meditation. And this reinforces our freedom from reactive identification with those emotions. If you are able to observe them then that position of being the observer is free from the emotion, is not conditioned by it.

Whether that's anxiety or depression or anything else it's habitual in nature. It becomes established as a conditioned habit. So our first job is to see that habit clearly and restore consciousness to it because habits cannot thrive when they are illuminated by conscious awareness.

The second approach that we cultivate when we meditate on our emotions is the response of compassion. So this is taught in a very specific way in the Mindfulness Therapy system that I have developed over the years. This is a process whereby we develop compassion towards that specific emotion itself as an object. 

It's rather like the relationship between a parent and a child. You can think of the emotional object as being like a child. It's conditioned. It has a limited consciousness and it's not very good at healing its own pain. It requires a parent to help in that healing. 

One of the primary methods that we employ for healing emotion, besides establishing this relationship as parent and child, which is of course very healing in itself, is by developing awareness of the imagery that is behind the emotion.

So seeing that imagery is very important because once you see it consciously then you can help it change. When the imagery changes the emotion changes and this actually is the primary mechanism through which emotions heal naturally. In our mindfulness work we are simply speed up this natural healing process.

So if you're interested in mindfulness and the mindfulness approach for healing emotional suffering and you'd like to schedule online therapy with me, then please contact me and we can schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you. I see people throughout the world. All you need is a good internet connection and a quiet place for your sessions and then we can begin. So please contact me. Thank you.

Speak to a Psychotherapist via Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in online therapy that I offer via Skype. 

So if you like the idea of talking to a therapist online rather than in person, if you like the greater convenience and also the greater privacy offered by online therapy, then do please reach out to me by email. 

 If you're looking for psychological help with anxiety or depression or addiction or other emotional problems that benefit from psychotherapy and you like the idea of learning how to work with your emotions more effectively without resorting to medications, then please contact me and let's schedule a trial Skype therapy session. 

Most of my clients really prefer online therapy to meeting a therapist in person. It is just so much more convenient and it's more comfortable too for you. You can conduct your therapy sessions from the comfort of your home, or place of work if you can find a quiet place at work to conduct your sessions.

The other advantage is that it's generally much more effective when working with anxiety conditions, and for people suffering from agoraphobia, online therapy is quite essential. 

So the style of psychotherapy that I teach online is called Mindfulness Therapy. And this is a system of psychotherapy that I developed some years ago now and it uses a lot of mindfulness and Buddhist teachings as a way of learning how to better manage our emotions and our thoughts, and so on. 

So the biggest problem that I come across when working with people suffering from anxiety or depression or addiction or OCD is this problem whereby you become identified with the emotions or thoughts or beliefs or memories in the mind. This process of reactive identification, as I call it, is really at the center of emotional suffering, whether it's anxiety or depression. 

So all emotions are basically habits that get started in the mind, often in childhood. So an emotion like anxiety or depression or shame or low self-esteem, these get started in childhood. This is well known. The child is not able to process these emotions so they tend to get stuck and they grow and then we develop layers and layers of identification around these emotions, these core emotions as we call them. 

So in Mindfulness Therapy we spend a lot of time really developing a different kind of relationship with these emotions so that instead of just identifying with your anxiety or fear or guilt or shame or depression we learn to see those emotions as objects in the mind. We developed what is called objective consciousness. And this is quite different than this subject of consciousness that occurs when you become identified with your emotions. 

The problem is not so much in the mind itself, it is in our identification with these mental objects. The way that we just fall in to our emotions and we become prisoners of those emotions. We become controlled by our anxiety or depression or addiction. 

So breaking free from this reactive identification is a vital process in any form of psychotherapy, and it's the very first thing that we focus on in Mindfulness Therapy. 

So when we bring objective consciousness or mindfulness to bear on thoughts then we are able to essentially break free from the habit of reacting. So we can break the habit of reactive thinking that feeds the anxiety or depression. 

There are lots of other things we do in mindfulness therapy. I won't describe them all now, but one other thing to consider, and something that I will teach during these sessions, is working with the imagery of the emotions.

So emotional imagery is critical and we look very carefully at the emotional imagery of your emotions, how they actually work. When you are able to see this imagery you can change it.

So we work a lot with imagery and this is very, very effective indeed, especially with traumatic memories.

This approach is very, very effective. It's very direct. It's very focused. It's quite different than conventional counseling. It is really looking at the mechanism that generates your emotional suffering and then changing it.
