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 psychotherapist 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.

So if you’d like to learn more about online therapy for anxiety and specifically Mindfulness Therapy for anxiety, then please go to my website and feel free to contact me and ask any questions you have about this approach and whether it’s the right approach for you. Most people really enjoy Mindfulness Therapy.

Online Therapy to Overcome Anxiety and Panic Attacks without Medication

Visit my Contact Page to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

So I’m often asked, “How can I overcome my anxiety without using medication?” And the answer is medication is not going to change the underlying cause of your anxiety. Medications are designed solely to reduce symptoms, and they can have the place as a temporary measure, but you have to correct the underlying psychological cause if you want to break free from anxiety and panic attacks and OCD and other forms of anxiety disorder.

All anxiety disorders are caused by underlying psychological habits. So this habit is a psychological process that is triggered by various factors. That might be external triggers. For example, in a phobia there are very specific external triggers; driving anxiety is very common and that’s triggered by certain road conditions. It could be health anxiety, which is triggered by a visit to see a doctor or the anticipation of going to see a doctor, and so on.

External triggers are one big factor for many people. But there are also internal triggers in the form of thoughts and beliefs and memories and other cognitive content.

So whatever the trigger is, it’s what is triggered that’s important. It’s not effective to try and avoid external or internal triggers, that is not going to help in the long run. You have to change that underlying psychological habit that gets triggered. And we do this in Mindfulness Therapy by looking at the relationship that you have to the emotions that get triggered, the anxiety, and to the triggers themselves. So we work with both of these and learn how to break free from that, essentially, unconscious habitual reaction to these triggers. The most important thing how to break that unconscious habit.

We do this by actually focusing conscious awareness on those triggers whether they’re external or internal using mindfulness meditation. So, mindfulness meditation is simply a way of breaking free from habits of the mind that cause emotional suffering. There are many styles of meditation, of course, and many interpretations of what meditation means. But in this context when we are talking about mindfulness meditation we are learning how to free the mind from suffering. So we learn how to work with the internal triggers and the external triggers by meditating on them, by imagining them and then looking for the emotion that gets triggered, and then helping to heal that emotion, helping to neutralize it through a number of mindfulness techniques that I will teach you. And I will teach you how to meditate on your emotions and how to free yourself from these emotional habits during our Skype Therapy sessions.

One of the key things we focus on is neutralizing reactivity to those triggers. It’s habitual as I’ve been saying, and habit thrives on blind unconscious reactivity. So by simply the process of developing more and more conscious awareness around the triggers you will be be able to break free from them to a greater and greater extent until those triggers are no longer effective at triggering anxiety.

So that’s one big area of mindfulness therapy. The problem for most people is that they do not bring conscious awareness to their triggers. They simply cultivate avoidance or aversion towards those triggers. They run away from them. They try to suppress them. They try to escape the emotional pain. But as you will know, that will not work. Any form of avoidance will simply make the problem worse. Any form of aversion or suppression of your emotions will simply strengthen them.

So we not only develop more consciousness but we also develop this quality of friendliness or compassion towards those emotions themselves. And this greatly accelerates the process of healing for emotional pain of all kinds, but especially for anxiety and fear.

Another thing that we explore during mindfulness therapy is the imagery of the emotions that get triggered. And we look at changing this imagery, how you see the emotion in the mind, and helping them resolve in that way, because when you change the imagery of an emotion you change the emotion.

If you’d like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety without using medications and you would like to learn how to heal anxiety by using mindfulness therapy which I offer online via Skype, then please contact me so we can schedule a Skype therapy session for overcoming your anxiety.
