This Online Psychotherapy Service will allow you to speak to a therapist online to get help for treating anxiety, depression, addictions and other forms of emotional stress, without having to leave home. This is very convenient for most people, and for those suffering from agoraphobia or social anxiety, online psychotherapy sessions may be the only choice available.
Being able to talk to a psychotherapist online via Skype is also a wonderful option if you are living abroad or if you live in a rural area. There are now many online psychotherapists to choose from. Generally, I recommend that you interview the psychotherapist via email or an introductory Skype session to make sure that the therapist is a good match for you and that you feel comfortable talking to him or her.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist living in Boulder, Colorado, and I offer Online Psychotherapy via Skype. Please contact me if you would like to speak with a therapist online.
Online therapy is a very convenient service if you live in a rural area or if you live abroad, or if you really prefer the convenience of being able to talk to a psychotherapist online via Skype. Most people prefer the greater privacy and anonymity of online therapy.
So, the style of psychotherapy that I provide and is described on my online therapy website is called Mindfulness Therapy. Now, this is a very exciting and very unique way of working with difficult emotions, including anxiety, depression and trauma. Mindfulness-based therapy is certainly one of the best approaches for overcoming anxiety and depression.
The Mindfulness approach is one of learning how to sit with your emotions, how to be present with your emotions without becoming reactive. It's the reactivity that stops emotions from healing, from changing and transforming. Mindfulness teaches us how to be with our emotions without becoming reactive, without becoming overwhelmed by the emotion, without becoming consumed by it. During our online therapy sessions I will teach you exactly how to do this.
Mindfulness Therapy is very good for working with anxiety and depression, or emotional stress or trauma, as I said. It is also very good for working with addictions. Addictions, as you know, are driven by very strong compulsive emotions, and to break free of these emotions requires that you learn how to sit with those same compulsive emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. This is a skill that I teach during online psychotherapy sessions.
If you would like to learn more about online psychotherapy via Skype, please go over to my online therapy website and read the pages on that site, watch the other videos that I have posted there and learn about this style of working with emotions. Then, if it you would like to talk to a therapist online, please CONTACT ME. I welcome your inquiries and I look forward to meeting you and helping you overcome your anxiety or depression through online psychotherapy via Skype.
Online Therapy is becoming increasingly popular these days since most of us have a computer and access to the internet.
Skype, if you don't already know, is a free service that allows you to make video calls from one computer to another. In my experience, this is one of the best ways to talk to a therapist online. It feels the same as seeing a therapist in the office, except that you, the client, can call from home or from the office, or even from a hotel room if you are traveling.
Most people feel much more comfortable and relaxed calling from home, and it is certainly less embarrassing than waiting in the therapist's office. This is an important consideration if you are suffering from Social Anxiety or Agoraphobia. In fact, if you suffer from agoraphobia, then online therapy may be the only realistic alternative.
You may also live abroad, or live in a rural area in the US where there are no local therapists available, or that you would feel comfortable talking to.
Talking to an Online Therapist via Skype is also a great option for people who are a little uncomfortable with therapy and counseling in general. The internet option gives you more of a sense of power; that you have more control over the process.
The style of Online Therapy that I provide is called Mindfulness Therapy, a modern form of CBT, or Cognitive Therapy, that focuses on teaching you how to break free of those habitual patterns of emotional reactivity that cause our anxiety, depression and emotional stress. It is also a very compassionate approach that teaches you how to heal core emotions that have remained unresolved.

People prefer the anonymity and greater privacy offered by online therapy. It makes it much easier for you because you can have your sessions at home, in the privacy of your own home, without having to talk to a therapist in person or visit a therapist's office, which can be a little intimidating to many people, especially if you're suffering from anxiety, depression or addiction.

During the trial therapy session, you will see it yourself just how effective this approach is. I offer mindfulness therapy because that's my particular interests and many people seek me out because of my interests and expertise in this area of mindfulness therapy. This is a system that I developed several years ago now, and works very well through Skype.
Really what you need more than anything, I would suggest, is to learn how to manage your emotions more effectively, how to break the habit of becoming overwhelmed by your anxiety or depression or compulsion. And also learning to create the right internal conditions that help those emotional states heal and change.
The real problem for most people is that they become habitually identified with their emotions and that they react to them with avoidance or aversion. So identification, avoidance and aversion are the primary problems that stop anxiety and depression from healing.
Mindfulness is the opposite. It teaches you how to develop balance in relationship to your emotions and thoughts. It teaches you how to break that habit of becoming identified and overwhelmed. It teaches you how to develop greater conscious awareness, which is what emotions need in order to heal. And it teaches you how to develop non-aversion, or friendliness towards those emotions that are trying to heal within you.
When you push your emotions away they will not heal. It's only when you actually learn to develop a friendly and therefore a conscious relationship with them that they can heal. And in most cases they heal quite quickly and in direct proportion to how friendly you are with your own emotions. We all know the importance of facing your emotions.
Well, when you develop friendliness to your painful emotions you are increasing the benefits of that wise advice many, many times over, because friendliness increases conscious engagement with whatever you are friendly towards, and this is precisely what anxiety and depression needs. It needs your friendliness and your consciousness in order to heal.
So if you are looking for greater privacy and you are interested in the anonymity of online therapy and if you're interested in the mindfulness approach, I invite you to email me and let's schedule a trial therapy session. Thank you.

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.

If you'd like to talk to a psychotherapist online through Skype I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness based psychotherapy that I offer through Skype.
Mindfulness psychotherapy is a very effective approach for helping you manage anxiety and depression without using medications. As you well know medications may provide a temporary relief from symptoms but medications are not going to address the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression or other form of emotional suffering.
That underlying cause is psychological in nature. Essentially it's a habit. We develop habits based around fear. That's probably the most common core emotion behind anxiety and depression and many other of our problems. We become embroiled in this inner fear which then takes on many different forms as reactive thinking, other forms of emotional reactivity and also behaviors based around fear like avoidance and hatred and also addictions as well, another kind of behavioral reactivity based on fear primarily.
So when we are working with our emotions we work on changing this fear. We try to establish a relationship with that part of us that is in fear that is experiencing fear. We learn to comfort that we learn to help it heal, which can only happen when you esstablish a very strong conscious and compassionate relationship with your fear.
When you do this you provide the right vehicle that allows that fear to begin to heal itself. When you establish a really good mindful relationship with your fear then the rate of healing is greatly accelerated.
Mindfulness is all about building this quality of compassionate and non-reactive relationship with your mind, with your emotions, with your thoughts, with your beliefs, with your memories, whatever constitutes the content of your mind. We build a relationship with that content using mindfulness. It's really a way of establishing a non-reactive conscious awareness and this is absolutely essential for healing.
When you bring mindfulness to fear or anxiety or depression it begins to heal and that rate of healing is greatly accelerated, as I said. So during sessions I will teach you how to use mindfulness to do this. How to actually meditate on your emotions, to meditate on that fear. That's the most important practical skill that I will teach you.
You have to learn to actively engage with the fear, but not become overwhelmed by it. And that is the first purpose of meditating on your fear. It is learning how not to become overwhelmed by your fear, how not to become reactive and how not to allow that fear to propagate into cognitive reactivity or further emotional reactivity or behavioral reactivity.
So that's essential. We learn to build or non-reactive relationship with our fear and then we help it heal through the medium of compassion. Now compassion here is specifically helping that emotion change in a direction that helps it heal. How we do that is something that we open up to discover through meditating on the emotion. We learn what is effective in helping it to heal.
The most effective thing we can do is to build a non-reactive relationship to it. This is the equivalent of being like a parent to a child. A child is suffering but the parent doesn't react to that suffering. Instead he or she responds to that suffering with compassion and responds in a way that helps that child relieve his or her suffering.
So that's what we have to do internally. We have to become like a parent to our emotional pain and to our fear, to our anxiety, to our depression. Whatever it is we have to build that parent child type relationship. That's the first essential thing we must do if we want it to heal.
If we try to avoid it or we try to talk it away or we distract ourselves through some practice or other or through drugs or alcohol, that will not create the right relationship and it will not heal the underlying fear, and usually you will end up amplifying that fear.
So meditation is central. Learning to be with your fear without reacting and with compassion. Now this is a skill. You will have to work on this, but I will teach you in great detail exactly how to do this.
