Talk to an online therapist through Skype or Zoom for the treatment of anxiety and depression

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online mindfulness therapist. I specially in Mindfulness Therapy because I find that to be the most effective way of working with anxiety, depression, and also addictions.

If you would like to speak to a therapist online, please go to my website, the link is below, and email me and then I can answer your questions and explain to you in more detail how online therapy works.

The first session is called a Trial Session, which means there is no upfront payment and in fact payment is made on your satisfaction, on your total satisfaction with the outcome of that session. So, this a way for you to get a sense of how online therapy works, how I work as an online therapist, and to see if this is the right approach for you and if you wish to continue online therapy with me.

So, what do we do during these online therapy sessions? Well, what I focus on is teaching you how to overcome those underlying patterns of reactive thinking and emotional reactivity that cause your anxiety or depression.

This really quite different than conventional talk therapy, which is more about having an avenue to release your emotional stress to someone who is sympathetic and willing to listen and encouraging you to express yourself. That is, of course, very important; and important part of good psychotherapy. But, in my experience, talk therapy is not enough. We have to look at changing that underlying process. We have to learn how to break free from the habitual patterns of negative reactive thinking.

And, this is where mindfulness is so effective, because it is a very powerful awareness skill that allows you to explore that underlying structure of your emotions. It allows you to see those patterns and it allows you to change those patterns.

More than this, Mindfulness Therapy also allows you to explore how emotional reactions work, themselves. Now, emotions are really quite different than thoughts, their primary language is not words but it is imagery. Imagery is the natural language of emotions. When we say, for example, "I feel overwhelmed,'" that give us a clue to the internal imagery of the emotion. We literally see the emotion above us, at a higher position, weighing down on us. We feel OVER-whelmed by the emotion. That is a part of the imagery that makes the emotion work.

So, when we explore this imagery with Mindfulness Therapy, we see all the details of how that emotional imagery works and we can change that emotional imagery through mindfulness. We can explore making all kinds of modifications in that internal imagery that allows the emotions to neutralize itself, to discharge itself, to change. We teach the emotion how to change itself, essentially.

Emotional imagery, just like reactive thinking is primarily habit, and habit thrives on not being seen. Mindfulness is all about exploring in great detail what is actually happening; it's about exploring that structure. It is about learning how to become a scientist, basically, exploring how things work in your mind.

So, this is one reason why Mindfulness Therapy is so powerful. Another reason why Mindfulness Therapy works is because it teaches you how to change your whole relationship to your thoughts and emotions. It teaches you how to observe your emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, without becoming identified with them, without becoming reactive.

So, if you would like to speak to a therapist online, do please go to my website and email me and I will explain this in more detail, and then we can schedule a trial session.

People really like the convenience of online therapy 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.

Can I talk to a therapist online? - Get help from a professional online therapist

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I provide online therapy for anxiety for depression, for addictions and other common psychological problems that can benefit from Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty. 

So I'm often asked, "Can I talk to a therapist online?" and the answer is yes you can as long as you are looking for a therapist that can help you manage your emotional problems using psychological techniques like mindfulness rather than medications. You can't receive prescription meds medications online of course. 

However most people who are seeking online therapy have already tried medications and traditional talk therapy usually with very poor results. 

Most people who come to me are looking for an alternative to conventional style psychotherapy and medications. They are looking for practical tools for managing anxiety and depression or addiction, and Mindfulness Therapy provides these solutions. It gives you very practical ways of working with your mind. It teaches you how to work with emotions and react to thinking without using medications, and it's very effective indeed. 

Most people who work with me can expect to see significant improvements within the first three to four sessions of online therapy. The key is learning how to change the way that you relate to your mind. You have to develop a different relationship with your emotions, that's not based on avoidance or some form of self-criticism or self judgment or even based on some concept that these emotions are irrational. 

Emotions are not irrational. They are mental formations that are formed for very good reasons, typically starting in childhood. They just get stuck, basically, and are not able to heal properly. 

Mindfulness Therapy gives you the ability to continue the healing process of these emotional formations that have gotten stuck and it does this by bringing conscious awareness to the emotion. 

You learn how to meditate on your emotions. This is quite new for many people. Most people are trying to escape their emotions or try to suppress them in some way, but that simply will not work. Those emotions must heal in order for you to be free from anxiety or depression or addiction. 

If you'd like to learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach for healing emotional suffering, then please contact me so we can schedule an online therapy session. 

Like I say, most people see quite substantial changes within the first few sessions of mindfulness training. So if you'd like to learn more about this approach and you like the idea of working with an online therapist because of its convenience, then please email me and we can schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you. 

I see people throughout North America, Canada, Western Europe, the UK and as far away as Japan. So please contact me now.

Talk to a Psychotherapist Online via Skype or Zoom

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Colorado and I offer online therapy by Skype, worldwide. All you need is a good Internet connection and Skype and we can schedule Skype Therapy sessions. So if you are interested in talking to an online therapist for effective help with anxiety I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness-based psychotherapy that I offer online and that I specialize in. 

So Mindfulness Therapy is a very effective way of working with anxiety. It's really quite different than conventional counseling and it's also a better alternative, in my opinion, to medications. You want to address the underlying cause of your anxiety. You want to change the habitual reactive process that creates your anxiety. 

Medications cannot do that, they are not able to change the underlying psychological habits that cause your anxiety, and often just talking about anxiety is not sufficient to change the mechanism that creates your anxiety. That is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy. 

I've worked with many people over the years now and they all really like the mindfulness approach. It gives greater insights than the typical with standard talk therapy and it gives you the tools to work with your anxiety and produce effective change.

In Mindfulness Therapy we do this by developing a very conscious and mindful relationship with our emotions. We look directly at our emotions and we see how they work. The first thing we focus on is the constellation of habitual reactive thoughts that have the effect of reinforcing the underlying anxiety. 

So the anxiety is kept alive by reactive habitual thoughts. So we need to work at that level. We need to develop more mindfulness to see these reactive thoughts in progress so that we can stop them and that we can begin to disengage that fuel source from the anxiety. 

So being able to sit with the emotion without getting lost in reactive thinking is the first step in Mindfulness Therapy and the first major step in healing anxiety. When you have now established a non-reactive relationship with your anxiety then you can begin to help it heal and that is the second major theme in Mindfulness Therapy is all about healing.

So we do this in Mindfulness Therapy by developing a compassionate relationship with our anxiety and with other emotions that are associated with the anxiety. Compassion is an extremely powerful force and it's very much a part of mindfulness. Mindfulness can be defined as compassionate awareness in the present moment. So that means bringing compassionate awareness to your emotions in the present moment. 

The third aspect of mindfulness is even more direct than that, and that is to actually look at the structure of the emotion. What is it that causes that emotion to arise in the mind? And the primary factor that constructs our emotions is imagery. The imagery of the emotion is what really hold it together and causes it to come into being. That imagery gets triggered by various factors, internal factors or external factors. But it's the imagery that actually causes the emotion. So that's the in-between step, if you like, of the habit that creates emotions. 

So we look at this imagery when we are studying it in meditation. We're looking to see how that imagery works and then we investigate how to change that imagery to help the emotion heal. So when emotions heal they do so by changing their imagery, either with our involvement or not. The imagery has to change for the emotion to heal. So we help it change directly during our mindfulness meditation sessions. 

I will teach you how to do this, how to apply mindfulness to work with your emotions and with your anxiety to facilitate healing. Because it's such a direct approach, most people see quite substantial changes within three or four sessions and you'll see even after the first session. You'll get a feeling of where this is going and how this can really help you. 

So if you would like to get started with me and you like the idea of talking to an online therapist who specializes in Mindfulness Therapy then to please contact me. Feel free to ask any questions you have about online therapy or about Mindfulness Therapy. When you feel ready, we can schedule the first session.
