Online Psychotherapy via Skype for the treatment of Anxiety and Depression

Please feel free to email me to learn more about Online Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy with me. During these Skype sessions of Mindfulness Therapy I will teach you how to use mindfulness for recovering from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, persistent depression and other forms of emotional suffering using the well-tested methods of Mindfulness Therapy.

This approach is remarkably effective and you can expect to notice significant reduction in the intensity of your anxiety or depression or stress after the first 2-3 online sessions with me.

Online Mindfulness-based Skype Psychotherapy is extremely effective for managing anxiety and depression without using medications. It is always better to treat the cause of your emotional suffering instead of just treating symptoms.

The main healing factors developed during Mindfulness Meditation Therapy are Conscious Awareness, which is essential for breaking free from the reactive habits that cause emotional suffering, and Inner Compassion, which is what accelerates healing and resolution of emotional suffering.

“I really don’t want to continue taking medications to treat my anxiety. I hate the side-effects. I feel that this online counseling has given me the tools I needed to stop my panic attacks. Mindfulness therapy has been very effective treatment for me – and enjoyable too!”

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about online psychotherapy. Most of my clients and students have already tried traditional in-person talk therapy and counseling, and many have also tried anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants prescribed by their doctor.

Learn more about Online Psychotherapy

There has been a growing interest in Online Psychotherapy using email correspondence and live video conferencing via Skype, FaceTime or similar services. The convenience of this approach for the client is very apparent: The client can take control of the process, paying only for the time that he or she wants to pay for. The client can have session at a time that is convenient.

Of course, not having to take time off work to drive to a therapist’s office is always a plus. Generally the cost for online sessions is much lower too since the therapist doesn’t have to pay for office space. Generally, it is well recognized that if you make psychotherapy more accessible and more convenient, then people will be more likely to stick with it, and this is always a major factor in the successful outcome of psychotherapy.

What about effectiveness?

Well, in a clinical study published in the Lancet in August, 2009, Online Therapy, via instant messaging, resulted in a significant recovery rate for patients suffering from depression. The treatment method used was Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

In general online therapy works best when clients are offered specific strategies with which they can experiment at home. Techniques such as CBT, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy are particularly appropriate.

The very process of writing down your thoughts in an email is an immensely powerful tool for helping you develop a more objective relationship with emotions, which can be very abstract and difficult to verbalize. This is why journaling has long been encouraged in many schools of psychotherapy. Then taking the bold step of sharing this with another person is also very empowering for most people. Some people are good at doing this face-to-face, but many actually feel intimidated and need more time to formulate the right words, without a therapist pressing them for content.

The online approach can also be good for the therapist, because he or she can take time to design the right strategies to offer the client and not feel pressured to provide a solution on the spot.

Is Online Psychotherapy a substitute for face-to-face sessions?

I think it is clearly an excellent addition, and provides an alternative for those who don’t feel comfortable with traditional therapy sessions, or are unable to attend such sessions. It may be particularly useful for those suffering from social anxiety or agoraphobia. One thing is for certain: the internet has become a major part of most people’s lives, and we should develop the extraordinary potential of the World Wide Web for bringing people together to promote healing.

Internet Psychotherapy and Counseling provides a vehicle that will allow many more people to connect and find wise counsel for working with their emotional issues than is possible through in-person sessions alone.

In my work with online counseling, mostly by email, I am always pleased to see how clients become more empowered through the process. Recently, I helped a person in South Africa, who was struggling with anxiety following a recent personal trauma. It was a joy to see his emails in the morning and then take the time to suggest the next exercise to practice to help him resolve his inner pain. We never met in person and probably never will, but nevertheless, I have been able to help heal his inner trauma, and that is immensely satisfying to me as an online therapist as it was to him as an online client.

Online Psychotherapy over Skype

Psychotherapy via Skype provides a very good solution if you prefer the convenience of online therapy and you are looking for an alternative to in-person counseling or prescription medications for the treatment of anxiety or depression.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist. I provide online psychotherapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety, depression, addictions and other emotional problems that you may be experiencing.

So, online psychotherapy is a very efficient and very effective way to get help with managing difficult emotions. During the online Skype sessions I will teach you mindfulness-based methods, because Mindfulness Therapy is my specialty and I will teach you how to work with difficult emotions using mindfulness.

So, in online psychotherapy we are learning how to change our relationship to our thoughts and to our emotions. Most of the time we have a very poor relationship the thoughts and emotions in the mind; we tend to either try and avoid them or we react to unpleasant thoughts and emotions with some form of aversion or resistance.

Now, one of the golden rules that is so important for you to understand is that any form of avoidance or aversion or resistance will simply reinforce the underlying patterns of reactive thinking and the underlying core emotion itself that is causing the problem.

It’s only when you bring consciousness and friendliness to the underlying emotions and negative thoughts that you can begin to regain some control and begin to produce change in those emotions and thoughts. This is a very important principle in mindfulness therapy and it is what we will be exploring in great detail during the online therapy sessions.

It’s really learning how to essentially sit with your emotions in the same way that you might sit with a child who is in pain or a friend who is distressed in some way.

You know that the most important thing that you can do is to be present with them – to be present with an open mind and an open heart. Being present with an open mind, well that’s the development of consciousness. Being present with an open heart, well that’s developing the friendliness aspect of mindfulness that is so powerful for producing healing.

When you develop a relationship based on consciousness and friendliness then you are learning essentially how to be present with your emotions, with your thoughts, with your painful memories, with your trauma, without becoming lost in the habit of reactivity.

If you do not feed that habit of reactivity then you create the right conditions in which emotions and thought patterns can begin to change. You begin to regain choice and some sense on control.

So, developing a relationship that is conscious and friendly is absolutely central to producing change in anxiety or depression, trauma, and also for overcoming compulsive emotions and addictions.

Learning to sit with the contents of your mind is central. In that process, of course, you are developing a new identity, a new sense of your self as not being the contents of your mind. You are learning to break free from that identification with the contents of your mind.

You are learning to be the observer, a much bigger sense of your self, it is the one that is able to be aware and conscious with the contents of mind, and this is central for producing healing.

So, if you would like to learn more about online psychotherapy and working with a therapist via Skype, please email me.

I will be happy to answer any questions you have about online therapy and the process of mindfulness therapy and what to expect during these Skype therapy sessions. So, please go to my website and email me and I will tell you in great detail about online psychotherapy and how it can help you with your specific needs.

Online Psychotherapy via Skype

Let me answer your questions about psychotherapy via Skype, and when you are ready, you can schedule a Skype counseling session with me.

If you would like online help for anxiety or depression then please go to my website and learn more about the online therapy service that I offer via Skype.

This service is available worldwide. I’m based in America and most of my clients live in the USA, but I also see clients in Canada and as far away as Western Europe and Australia. If you’re interested in learning how to work with anxiety and depression using mindfulness then please contact me.

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.

It means you can stay at home and have your therapy sessions in the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Online Psychotherapy Service via Skype

Online psychotherapy for overcoming anxiety and depression

Welcome! I offer psychotherapy via Skype. Therapy over Skype is a very effective way of getting the help that you might need for working with difficult emotional problems.

Generally, during these Skype therapy sessions I will help you work with anxiety and depression and also addictions and other difficult patterns of emotional reactivity.

The process of Skype therapy that I teach involves using the advanced techniques of Mindfulness Therapy, which help you actually change the way you relate to your emotions. The most important thing that we teach in the beginning of mindfulness therapy over Skype is how to form a stable and non-reactive relationship with your emotions and your thoughts.

The biggest problem that I come across in the clients that I work with online is that people do not have a relationship with their mind, at all. They simply become overwhelmed by the thoughts and the emotional reactions that get triggered out of habit. This is the biggest problem, because when you become identified with thoughts or emotions then you basically feed those thoughts and emotions, you feed the fire of anxiety or depression.

So, the most important first step in mindfulness-based therapy, that I teach online through Skype is to basically break this habit of identification. When you can do that, then everything begins to change and heal because you are no longer feeding the underlying anxiety or depression or other emotion.

If you would like to learn more about psychotherapy via Skype, if you would like to schedule a Skype therapy session with me, then please go to my website, learn more about psychotherapy over Skype and how it works and then send me an email. I will be happy to answer your questions and when you are ready we can schedule a Skype therapy session.

Psychotherapy over Skype

Psychotherapy over Skype provides a very effective solution if you are looking for help with anxiety or depression or an addiction and you are looking for an alternative to medical treatment with medications.

Medications may offer short-term relief but they do nothing to change the underlying psychological habits that cause emotional suffering. To change these habits you need to work at the psychological level. The results of such psychological work will be far more effective in the long run.

People really enjoy the convenience of online psychotherapy since you can have your sessions without leaving home. This is a tremendous advantage for people who cannot leave home for one reason or another.

Obviously, online therapy is the only real choice if you suffer from agoraphobia or if you suffer from driving anxiety. I work a lot with agoraphobia, and the mindfulness therapy approach seems particularly effective for this and other anxiety disorders.

Anxiety and Depression are Habits

Most people benefit greatly from learning how to overcome the underlying psychological habits that lead to anxiety or depression or the compulsive impulses of an addiction. During online therapy sessions I will teach you how to effectively manage your emotional suffering using the well-tested methods of Mindfulness Therapy.

The mindfulness therapy that I teach is highly effective for healing reactive anxiety in particular. Anxiety is primarily a habit. We become blindly identified with conditioned habitual patterns of reactive thinking and secondary emotional reactions (eg. the fear of the anxiety) as well as behavioral reactions such as avoidance and the use of mind-altering drugs (and this includes prescription medications).

All this reactivity simply feeds the underlying anxiety. It also prevents the anxiety resolving and healing. This reactivity is the real problem that we must focus on changing, and this is a primary focus during Mindfulness Therapy.

Identify your emotional triggers

The first most important step is to clearly identify the triggers that trigger anxiety reactions. These may be external, as in the case of a phobia, but are mostly internal in the form of thoughts and beliefs – excessive worrying, catastrophic thinking, negative beliefs and rumination.

Now it is important to understand that the problem is not in the thoughts per se, but in the way that we become blindly attached to these thoughts. We take them as truth and believe them without question. This is called Reactive Identification in Mindfulness Psychotherapy, and this is what we focus on changing. The anxiety habit is based on the reactive identification with those thoughts and beliefs. If we stop blindly believing them then they will cease to have power and will stop feeding the anxiety.

If we stop this reactive identification then the thoughts will resolve by themselves. All thoughts tend to resolve in this way quite naturally when we do not identify with them. This is a natural process of the mind called innate cognitive resolution and is how the mind clears thoughts.

When this natural clearing process become interrupted and dysfunctional then consciousness become overwhelmed by an excessive number of thoughts, which is a key feature of anxiety, depression and emotional stress in general.

Learn how to meditate on your mind

The Mindfulness Therapy approach is one in which we take back control of the mind by learning how to meditate on our emotions and the associated habitual reactive thoughts that feed our anxiety or depression.

Mindfulness meditation, as I teach it, is a process of focusing conscious awareness on the mind. We choose to deliberately meditate on our anxiety or depression and we meditate on those reactive thoughts. We do NOT seek distraction from the mind (such as meditating on the breath, which is often taught, incorrectly in my view). Rather, we turn our attention towards our suffering IN ORDER TO FACILITATE HEALING BY BREAKING FREE FROM BLIND REACTIVE IDENTIFICATION.

As we meditate on our mind, we are developing another dimension of mind called the True Self, which is not the content of mind, not the thoughts or emotions or beliefs, but that which sees these mental objects. True Self is the Observer, and being the observer means that it is NOT the objects observed. Thus with practice, you break free from the habit of reactive identification with the thoughts and emotional reactions, and in so doing you stop feeding the anxiety or depression. This allows the resumption of innate resolution, the natural healing pathways that bring the extinction of emotional suffering.

The best analogy here is to look at how the body heals itself, which it does continuously throughout the day. Psychological pain like anxiety or depression or trauma or grief will also heal itself through the same healing mechanisms the moment we break free from the bling habitual reactivity that feeds our emotional wounds.
