If you would like to talk to an online psychotherapist, then go to my website to learn about Online Psychological counseling via Skype for eliminating anxiety and chronic depression, help with addiction recovery, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, PTSD, Psychological Trauma and other forms of psychological suffering not requiring medical treatment.
Standard counseling can be useful, but often it does not change the underlying psychological process that creates your anxiety and depression.
This also applies to the use of medications - the prescription medications may provide a temporary relief from symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to heal the underlying cause that produces your emotional suffering.
The type of psychotherapy that I teach online is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which can be quite effective for managing anxiety as well as for treating depression or other psychological problems resulting from habitual reactive thinking. Most of my clients notice quite substantial changes after the first couple of sessions of Skype Therapy.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online psychotherapist. If you would like to talk to a psychotherapist online then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service and contact me via email with any questions you may have and tell me about yourself and how I can help you.
So, talking to an online therapist is becoming more and more widely accepted now if you don't require clinical intervention, that is you don't require medications, then online psychotherapy can be an excellent choice for you.
The service that I provide specializes in Mindfulness Therapy, and this really is a way of helping you overcome long-standing patterns of emotional reactivity that cause anxiety and depression. Mindfulness teaches you how to change these emotional habits quite effectively.
This is a better choice in the long-run because you are learning how to change the cause of your anxiety or depression or other form of emotional suffering. Medications don't treat the cause, they only provide a temporary relief from the symptoms, and that is not enough, it never will be. You have to change the underlying psychological cause which we describe as your "emotional habits."
Mindfulness allows you to examine these habits in great detail and see how they actually work in real-time, in the present moment, to see what actually is anxiety or depression. How does it look in the mind? What is the emotional imagery associated with that particular emotion?
Mindfulness is simply a way of focusing consciousness directly on an object like an emotion or a thought, without any judgement or any form of reactivity to the thing that you are looking at. It is really learning how to be a skillful observer, like a scientist, observing without any prejudice or preconceptions, to see what is actually there.
When you start to examine emotions in this way with mindfulness, you will start to see the underlying emotional imagery that keeps that emotional habit alive. When you see the imagery of the emotion you can change that imagery, and when you change the imagery of anxiety or depression you remove that anxiety or depression, you change the emotional habit itself.
So, this is one part of Mindfulness Therapy and it works extremely well online. It's about teaching you tools and methods to work with your emotions, and this includes mindfulness meditation, where we learn to meditate on our emotions. This is how you can begin to change those unconscious emotional habits.

Mindfulness is extremely effective for treating anxiety and depression and mindfulness therapy is a process of teach you how to do this, how to Use mindfulness effectively.
We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety and depression. Learning to meditate on our emotions is a central feature in mindfulness therapy. Generally, we tend to do the opposite. We spend all our time trying to avoid anxiety or depression, even using meditation as a distraction from our emotional pain, trying to get away from the mind in every way we can, and most of us generate internal aversion towards our emotional pain. We don't like anxiety, we don't like our depression, we don't like our loss of control, we don't like these compulsive drives that seem to ruin our life.
So, really, from a mindfulness perspective, avoidance and aversion are your main enemies and they are the main forms of reactivity that actually feed anxiety and depression and prevent it from healing. So this is why we learn to meditate on our anxiety or depression.
We actually learn to develop a friendly and conscious relationship with our emotions because this is essential for their healing. You cannot overcome anxiety if you try to avoid it, or if you try to avoid situations that might trigger anxiety. That is not recommended. In fact, I will teach you the opposite - you need to face your anxiety. You need to go to those very situations that cause anxiety or trigger anxiety and you need to practice with those situations using mindfulness until you have overcome the anxiety habits, because it is habit that causes our anxiety or our depression and these habits thrive on not being seen, on ignorance, unawareness.
So that's what we overcome by meditating on our emotions. We actually bring conscious awareness to them and non reactivity to see our emotions very clearly. This is the first part of mindfulness training.
THe second part of mindfulness training is actually interacting with your emotions and helping them change. This is the response of compassion, which is an essential feature of mindfulness.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in online therapy that I provide over Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and other emotional problems without the use of medications.
This is not a medical treatment. This is a form of psychotherapy called mindfulness therapy that I've developed over the years and found to be particularly effective for anxiety and depression. So I'm often asked is online therapy as effective as in person therapy? And the answer is yes it is, certainly.
For the vast majority of people online therapy is just as effective as therapy in person, especially if you use Skype or similar video platform so you can see each other. That's the key ingredient. You must be able to see each other to really have good communication which is so important for effective psychotherapy. So if you can see each other then in my opinion there is no appreciable difference between online therapy and therapy in the therapist's office.
Now online therapy does offer some advantages. Clearly it's more convenient for you the client, because it means you can conduct your therapy sessions from home or from work or even in your car. All you need is a quiet place and a good internet reception and then you can conduct online therapy.
So people like the convenience, and people living in remote areas or for people living abroad, if you're based in a foreign country, you may not have access to the right kind of psychotherapist. And so online therapy gives you greater options for getting the kind of help that you are looking for from managing emotional problems such as anxiety or depression or addiction.
A lot of people like the greater privacy offered by online therapy. You don't have to wait in a therapist's office or similar public environment like that. You can conduct your sessions in the privacy of your own home and that's a big factor especially if you are struggling with a difficult set of emotions that you might be experiencing such as with depression or with addiction. So that greater level of privacy from your point of view is often just what we're looking for.
The other advantage of online therapy is that it's more comfortable for you as well. It's much less intimidating than the more typical clinical based therapy that's offered in a psychotherapist's office setting. From my point of view, my philosophy, is that we want to make psychotherapy as comfortable as possible. It should not be clinical in nature.
I personally do not advocate a medical approach for treating anxiety or depression. Medications may have some value in controlling symptoms but medications will do very little indeed to change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression or addiction. That requires the right kind of psychological help, working with the underlying habits that cause your anxiety or depression or other emotional problem.
So the style of psychotherapy that I specialize in and find works best for the vast majority of people online is mindfulness therapy. This is a particular system of psychotherapy that I've developed over the last ten years or more that really focuses on working with those underlying habits which are primarily based around habitual reactive thinking.
So anxiety and depression are habits. They are learned habits. We are not born with anxiety or depression. We acquire these habits through time and often through trying to cope with emotional trauma in childhood. It's very common as a common starting point for the anxiety habits of the depression habit. Addiction often flows from that underlying anxiety or depression.
So we work on these habits very, very systematically in a focused way. We learn to dis-identify from the reactive thoughts. We learn to establish a healing relationship with the emotions based on compassion, which is a very important part of mindfulness teaching in general.
So if you'd like to learn more about Skype counseling therapy for anxiety or depression. If you would like to start sessions with me, then reach out to me by email. Simply contact me through my website and we can schedule a Skype counseling session at a time that works for you.

There are many benefits to Online Therapy and being able to speak with a therapist online. Convenience is one of the clear benefits, especially for people living abroad or in rural areas.
Another benefit of online therapy and counseling is that most people find it much more comfortable than office visits, and there have been studies showing that people see significantly better results with online therapy when compared to office-based psychotherapy, especially if they are suffering from an anxiety disorder.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in mindfulness-based psychotherapy, which I offer online via Skype.
Online therapy is becoming very popular, and there are many distinct benefits to online therapy. Convenience is certainly one of the main benefits of online therapy, but other benefits are that it is generally much more comfortable for you, the client. It's much less intimidating than going to a therapist's office, and this is very important, indeed, especially if you are suffering from anxiety, social anxiety or other form of general anxiety. Feeling comfortable is extremely important to help you work with that anxiety, so the online therapy option has district benefits for people suffering from anxiety.
The other benefit of online therapy is that it allows you not only the right therapist to work with, but allows you to find different styles of psychotherapy than may be available in your local area. For example, many people come to me because they are particularly interested in Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty and that's what I offer online.
Mindfulness Therapy is a very effective way of working with anxiety, depression, and addictions, too. It helps you, basically, break free of those patterns of reactive thinking that keep you imprisoned within anxiety or depression. It allows you to change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression or addiction by allowing you to form a healing relationship with your anxiety or other emotions that helps transform that underlying cause. This is a unique feature of Mindfulness Therapy, and is one of the reasons why Mindfulness Therapy is becoming so popular.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.
So if you're interested in learning more about Mindfulness Therapy for overcoming anxiety and depression, do please feel free to reach out to me and ask any questions you may have and we can schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you.
People like online therapy. It Is very convenient and it's also much more comfortable for most people to be able to have their therapy sessions at home or even in the office if they can find a quiet place for the online session. It's very important that you feel comfortable.
I recommend that you also contact any therapist that you're interested in working with online before you schedule your online therapy session with them to make sure that their approach matches your needs. So I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which I find to be very, very effective for most people. This is an approach that teaches you how to work with difficult emotions using mindfulness.
Now mindfulness is simply a quality of presence, of being conscious, of being aware, of being able to form a relationship with your anxiety or depression without reacting; to be present with your emotions without reacting, without trying to push them away or run away from them; without trying to distract yourself, without any kind of reactivity, to be totally present.
This quality of being totally present with your emotions is vital for allowing healing to happen. So painful emotions emotional suffering in general is always trying to heal. That's its nature. The mind is always trying to heal anxiety or depression in very much the same way that the body is always trying to heal any injury that it sustains.
This process we call psychological homeostasis and it is very much the same as homeostasis in the body. So that's important to understand; your anxiety or depression or other form of emotional suffering is already on a path of healing. The problem is that we do not allow it to heal properly because we become reactive.
So if you'd like to learn more about online therapy sessions using mindfulness, do please contact me and we can schedule an online therapy session via Skype. I use Skype because it's really very important that we can see each other. That is, I would say, them the primary requirement for good communication and that is certainly very important for good psychotherapy.
So we use Skype. We could also use Facetime or other Internet protocols that allow us to see each other. But I prefer Skype. I find that it works really well.
So if you'd like to schedule a Skype therapy session with me and explore in more detail how we can use mindfulness to heal your anxiety or depression, then please reach out to me and let's schedule a session.
