Talk with a therapist online via Skype for help with anxiety and depression

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.

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

So if you're interested in Mindfulness Therapy and you would like to talk to a psychotherapist like myself who specializes in Mindfulness Therapy for treating anxiety and depression then do please go to my website, learn more about this service and contact me if you would like to schedule some online therapy sessions with me. 

So I offer online Mindfulness Therapy using Skype. Skype is important. It makes online therapy much more effective when you can see each other. When you can see each other then there's really no difference between Skype Therapy when compared to meeting a therapist in person. 

So Mindfulness Therapy is quite different than conventional talking therapy or counseling that you may have already tried. The whole focus in Mindfulness Therapy is changing the underlying process that causes your anxiety or depression or addiction or whatever form of emotional suffering that you may have. 

There's always an underlying process, a psychological process going on that produces that emotional state, and most of the time we are not really very aware of how we create anxiety or depression. It becomes an automatic habit and like all habits it operates out of consciousness, so we're not really aware of how it works. 

The whole purpose Mindfulness Therapy is to look very carefully inside to see how it works, to see how the mind creates anxiety or depression or any other form with emotional suffering. And the primary way to do this is through learning how to meditate on our emotions. So this is quite a novel concept for many people. They don't normally think about meditating on their emotions. People are more likely to want to escape from their emotions. But it is very clear from the work that I have done over the years, that the primary problem for healing is avoidance and also aversion, hating the internal emotional pain. 

When me react to painful emotions with avoidance or with aversion then that has the definite effect of reinforcing that emotional suffering and the habit that produces it. So in mindfulness we learn how to change our relationship to any emotions that are creating pain. You learn how to form a conscious and non-reactive relationship with them. That's the most important first step in helping them heal. So we do this by meditating on our emotions. 

We bring the emotion into the mind. Imagining it, but on purpose and on our terms, which is quite different than the normal habitual reaction. We look at it and the first thing we look for is the constellation of reactive thoughts, habitual reactive thoughts, that feeds the anxiety or depression. 

So thoughts are essentially a form of fuel that feeds the emotional suffering. Thoughts to not cause anxiety or depression, they feed it. Now when we learn how to see these thoughts clearly then we can begin to change our relationship to them and overcome this habit of identifying with those thoughts and beliefs that tend to feed the underlying suffering. 

So breaking the habit of reactive identification is a key feature of mindfulness training and therapy. We can hold the emotion in the mind. We can hold the constellation of thoughts in the mind and not become overwhelmed by them, not become a prisoner of those mental objects. So developing this objectivity is essential for healing and it's a central focus of Mindfulness Therapy. I will train you how to do this.It Is really quite surprising. It's not that difficult. 

So if you would like to speak with a therapist online via Skype then please send me an email and let's schedule a session.

This is a very exciting and very effective approach for overcoming those patterns of habitual emotional reactivity. We learn how to change the relationship that we have to our emotions. This is the key feature of mindfulness therapy. 

So the emotions are what provides the power, if you like, for everything in the mind. In mindfulness psychology we understand that emotions precede thoughts, not the other way around as is taught in CBT for example. If you are feeling afraid or angry you are likely to start generating thoughts based around fear or anger. If there is no emotion preceding those thoughts then those thoughts don't form in the first place. Or if they do they resolve very quickly. 

So working with the underlying emotions is key. And what we focus on in mindfulness therapy is forming a conscious relationship that's also based on friendliness and compassion with those painful emotions, like anxiety and depression, or shame or guilt or compulsion, in the case of an addiction. Whatever it might be we have to fundamentally change the relationship that we have with those emotions. 

Typically we don't have a good relationship with our emotions. We simply react to them with more suffering and more reactive thoughts that simply feed those emotions and make them more painful, and also prevent them from healing. They cannot heal if you continue to react to them and feed them. 

We have to learn how to sit with our emotions without reacting. That is the key first step in mindfulness training, and we do this by actually meditating on our emotions. We don't waste time talking about our emotions. That tends to simply feed the problem. We instead focus our time on changing our relationship to our emotions so that we can hold them in conscious awareness without becoming identified with them and without reacting to them with cognitive reactivity or further emotional reactivity or even behavioral reactivity. An addiction is an example of behavioral reactivity, that is, if you like, trying to escape emotional pain. 

So we need to cultivate this very non-reactive relationship first of all with our emotions. Then the second phase of our training is to learn how to work with those emotions in a way that helps them heal directly. Not by trying to change our belief structure or understanding or exploring the past or reasons why we feel this way. That approach is not usually very effective. 

We work directly with the emotions. Typically almost all emotional suffering is based around fear. So we need to learn how to comfort fear. We need to learn how to relate to that fear in a way that will comfort it. We need to become like a friend or parent to those emotions that are in pain because that is what creates the healing. It's the quality of that relationship itself. 

And it takes some training but not a lot. Most people already know the wisdom of this approach. It's natural. It's what you would do if you were comforting a friend or a child that was in pain. You would approach it in this way. You would first of all establish a very safe and non-reactive relationship with them and then you would progress into finding ways to comfort them, which might be as simple as holding them or just being quiet and listening to them. That quality of relationship is where the healing happens, the reactivity does not heal and even trying to understand your emotions and conceptualize them is technically speaking, just another form of cognitive reactivity. It doesn't usually heal the underlying emotion. 

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach, please contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself just how effective this mindfulness therapy approach is especially for anxiety disorders and depression. But I also work with addictions, as well. So contact me if this interests you. Thank you.
