Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

During these online counseling sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness, including mindfulness meditation for promoting recovery from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, depression, and for help with and other emotional problems, by using the very practical techniques of Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy.

This approach is extremely effective and most people see tangible changes after the first 2-3 online sessions with me.

Online Mindfulness Therapy is highly effective for stopping anxiety and depression without relying on drugs. Treat the root cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just suppressing symptoms.

Do you need an online therapist for anxiety? Would you like to talk to a therapist online to get help with your anxiety? Then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service that I offer via Skype.

So I specialize in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of all kinds of anxiety disorders, ranging from generalized anxiety disorder to social anxiety disorder including agoraphobia. I work a lot with obsessive compulsive disorder and in general the mindfulness approach is particularly effective for producing changes in quite a short time and typically people see substantial improvements after the first two to three sessions with me.

And this is because we focus on really changing the underlying process that causes your anxiety. This is quite different than conventional talk therapy or counseling. And it’s certainly different than medical approaches that advocate the use of medications. I do not recommend medications for the treatment of anxiety disorders because medications do not treat the underlying condition. They do not change the underlying process that creates anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy does. It helps you change that underlying habitual process that produces anxiety and that underlying process is psychological in nature. It is basically a psychological habit.

So anxiety is primarily a habit. We learn anxiety, we are not born with anxiety. It is not developed out of nothing. It is a habit that is learned. We learn these habits quite naturally when we are exposed to emotional trauma, particularly in childhood that we’re unable to process. When that’s emotional trauma becomes stuck in the mind of suppressed then it becomes the seed that leads to the development of anxiety disorders.

However you don’t have to go back to childhood to try and change emotional trauma in order to recover from anxiety disorders that you might be experiencing now. Whatever the cause of that habit, however it got established the place to change the habit is right now as it manifests itself in your present situation.

So Mindfulness Therapy allows you to change anxiety habits. And them the most important way that we go about changing the anxiety habit is by changing the quality of relationship that we have with our anxiety and other emotions.

So classically, the anxiety habit is sustained by levels of habitual reactivity to that anxiety. The habitual reactivity simply feeds the anxiety. And what is the main kind of reactivity that we encounter? It is primarily the reactive habit of avoidance and the reactive habit of aversion or hatred towards that anxiety.

If you react to your anxiety with either avoidance or aversion then you basically feed that anxiety and you prevent it from changing. So reactivity stops anxiety changing and it prevents that anxiety habit from changing.

So in mindfulness therapy we overcome this habit of reactivity to our anxiety or other painful emotional habits. We learn to develop a conscious and friendly relationship to our anxiety. This is the key method that produces change and allows the anxiety habit to resolve itself and become replaced by more positive emotional habits. So if you don’t react to your fear or anxiety you don’t feed it. So we learn to hold the anxiety in conscious mindful awareness without reacting to it. We put the emotion in neutral, in effect.

So we do this by meditating on our anxiety, or any other emotion for that matter. We hold it in awareness deliberately and learn how to sit with with that anxiety without becoming reactive, without becoming identified with it.

When we can do this then we effectively neutralize the anxiety. It takes a little bit of training, but not very much. It is quite surprising how quickly you can overcome the anxiety habit like any other habit when you start applying consciousness, when you start really sitting with your emotions without reacting to them. When you can do that then the habit starts to lose strength and begins to burn itself out.

So if you would like to get started with me with online therapy for anxiety and you like the idea of working with an online therapist like myself who specializes in mindfulness therapy, then please contact me and lets schedule an online therapy session.

Online counseling for treating anxiety over Skype or FaceTime or Zoom

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy via Skype for treating anxiety and depression, addictions and other common psychological-emotional problems that respond well to Mindfulness Therapy.

I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy because I find it to be very effective and my clients really like the skills that they learn. So I’m often asked are there any online therapists that can help overcome anxiety? And there are a growing number and some of them specialize in Mindfulness Therapy like I do.

Others provide a service to help you discover new understandings and ways of looking at your anxiety that can be useful. In general, what I recommend is that you work with an online therapist for your anxiety who really is good at teaching you specific methods, practical methods and tools that you can apply yourself between sessions. It is learning how to become more skillful in working with anxiety and other forms of emotional reactivity. This is what is most important.

People like the convenience of online therapy means you can. First of all, you can have your sessions from home without having to travel to see your therapist. Sometimes there just are not local options available. If you’re living abroad or if you’re living in a rural area or even if you’re living in a big city, sometimes it’s very difficult to find an affordable therapist to work with.

Also online therapy gives you more options. Like any other online browsing it makes available a much greater range of options for you to find something that you feel really good about and that meets your needs. So if you’re looking for an online therapist for anxiety I’d definitely recommend you do a good Google search first of all and then be sure that you can establish a line of communication with the prospective therapist where you can ask your questions and make sure that those questions are well answered.

Also when you’re selecting an online therapist be sure that you don’t have to pay upfront for an online session. You should be selecting therapists that will allow you to determine if the sessions are providing the right kind of support, and pay only when you’re satisfied with the outcome of each session. I think it’s quite important. That’s the policy that I use and it’s a satisfaction-based arrangement. I think that’s best for everyone.

So the mindfulness-based approach that I offer online is particularly effective for giving you those tools and methods for reducing the level of your anxiety. I will teach you precisely how to apply mindfulness for working with anxiety and you will start to see quite significant improvements, even after the first one or two sessions, once you learn how to work with your anxiety use mindfulness.

Online Psychotherapy for Anxiety through Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder Colorado and I offer online psychotherapy for anxiety via Skype.

So if you’re interested in learning more about online therapy for treating anxiety disorders, whether that’s generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, or if you have a problem with recurrent panic attacks, or if you suffer from driving anxiety disorder or a phobia in general, then please go to my website and learn more about this online psychotherapy service that I offer.

If you’re interested in online psychotherapy you should check that the therapist is able to provide sessions via Skype. I believe it’s essential that you are able to see each other as well as speak to each other, because this greatly improves the effectiveness of communication. And that’s a very important fact when you’re working with difficult emotional conditions like anxiety and panic attacks or depression, or even for work with addiction.

Many people like online therapy because it’s clearly more convenient. And if you’re living abroad or in a rural area you might find it difficult to find a local therapist that you want to work with.

People like the greater privacy also offered by online psychotherapy. It means that you can conduct your sessions from home and in the privacy of your own environment. And that’s quite important for a lot of people. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable talking about our emotional problems. If it’s an addiction it’s often very difficult to talk about that in a more public setting. Being able to talk about your anxiety online is much less intimidating for most people. So that’s one of one of the additional benefits of online therapy via Skype.

The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy and this is a particular approach that I developed many years ago now that has proven to be incredibly effective for helping people manage anxiety disorders.

It’s a technique that uses mindfulness. Mindfulness is simply a way of focusing conscious attention on emotions and on thoughts and memories and other components of the mind. It’s a way of becoming conscious without becoming overwhelmed or consumed or lost in anxiety or depression or any other emotional formation.

We have to build a conscious relationship with our emotions. That is an absolute requirement for them to change, in my opinion. Talking about your anxiety can provide temporary relief but it’s seldom as good as actually building an internal relationship with your anxiety in which you spend more time, if you like, listening to it rather than reacting to it or trying to explain it away or trying to understand it. All of these forms of cognitive processing are really taking you away from the emotion itself.

We create a safe space around our anxiety and we begin to explore how that anxiety works. One of the most important things we first focus on is the constellation of reactive thoughts that feeds that anxiety.

So anxiety tends to lead to proliferation of anxiety-based thinking. And this in turn feeds the underlying anxiety and creates this vicious feedback loop that stops the anxiety healing. So the first part of mindfulness is all about learning to see these reactive thoughts and breaking the unconscious habits of becoming lost in those thoughts. So we’re not indulging the anxiety. Instead with simply creating a conscious and non-reactive relationship with it.

The second thing that we focus on in great detail during Mindfulness Therapy is looking at the internal imagery of the emotion. And this might be a new concept to you, but if you think about it you will begin to realize that all emotions are based around imagery.

So if you’d like to learn more about online psychotherapy via Skype for your anxiety do please email me and tell me more about how I can help you. And then when you feel ready we can schedule a session.

You will see in the very first session just how powerful this approach can be and most people see changes after the very first session, when you start applying the mindfulness methods that I’ll teach you on how to work with your anxiety.

So please contact me if you’d like to get started.

Speak with a Therapist Online for treating anxiety – Online Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Medications may provide temporary relief from the intense emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks but medications do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety. That underlying cause is mostly a product of unresolved emotional trauma and habitual reactive thinking that feeds the anxiety. We must change these causes to successfully recover from anxiety and panic attacks as well as depression and other forms of emotional suffering.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist based in Colorado and I specialize in mindfulness therapy which I offer online for the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, and PTSD (that’s one of my particular interests) and many other psychological emotional-problems that are caused by reactive habitual thinking or unresolved emotional trauma.

If you would like to learn how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks through online therapy and you would like to learn how to overcome anxiety disorders without using medications, then please go to my website and learn more about online mindfulness therapy. In my opinion this is one of the most effective ways of treating anxiety without using medication.

It works on changing the underlying cause of your anxiety and panic attacks, as well as depression or other emotional conditions. That underlying cause is what needs to be transformed and healed if you want to really recover from anxiety or panic attacks.

Medications don’t treat anxiety and panic attacks. They only relieve symptoms and that symptom relief is short term. It’s just a bandaid. It’s not really changing the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety or panic attacks.

So, in mindfulness therapy we recognize that the key to overcoming any emotional suffering is to actually develop a conscious and friendly relationship with your emotional pain. Your biggest enemies are avoidance and aversion. When there is avoidance, that basically causes the anxiety to get bigger. When there is aversion, that causes you to get smaller in relationship to your anxiety.

So this is why we understand in mindfulness teachings the importance of friendliness or love, because when you relate to emotional suffering with love you get bigger and the emotion gets smaller, it actually starts to heal itself, when that relationship is well established.

So, the path to healing anxiety and panic attacks, also depression and other forms of emotional trauma, is to build a very strong friendly and non-reactive relationship with those underlying emotions. When you do that you create the right internal conditions that promote healing, and that healing is a natural process that is built in to the anxiety or the depression. It is already trying to heal itself to come back to equilibrium. Unfortunately we tend to get in the way of the natural healing through reactivity such as avoidance and aversion.

So, if you’d like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks without medication, please go to my website and then email me and let’s schedule a Skype Therapy session, and you will see for yourself just how effective mindfulness therapy can be for healing anxiety and depression. Thank you.
