Online Therapist – Talk to a Therapist Online through Skype

Conventional talk therapy can be beneficial, but often it does not alter the the underlying process that creates your anxiety and depression.

This also applies to the use of medications – the anti-anxiety medication may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications will not are not effective for healing the underlying process that generates your anxiety or depression.

The school of psychotherapy that I teach online is called Mindfulness Therapy, which can be very powerful for overcoming chronic anxiety as well as for treating chronic depression or other common psychological issues resulting from conditioned negative thinking. Most of my students see quite significant changes after the first couple of sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online psychotherapist. If you would like to talk to a psychotherapist online do please go to my website and send me an email and then we can schedule a Skype therapy session.

I have been offering online psychotherapy for many years now and have seen tremendous benefits for my clients. There is no doubt that the online therapy format using Skype is just as effective as in-person psychotherapy, especially for the style of therapy that I offer, which is called Mindfulness Therapy.

This is dependent less on developing a relationship with your therapist and more on teaching you practical skills that you can use to overcome difficult emotions such as chronic anxiety or depression. And that, I feel is the most important thing – to give you the tools that will help you overcome your specific emotional problems, and that can be taught very well online.

So, Mindfulness Therapy is a way of working with emotions like anxiety and depression, or addiction or compulsion or phobias or panic attacks. It’s a way of working with difficult emotions by essentially changing the habit of the way that we react to these emotions.

So, emotions get triggered by thoughts or by external events and then we get lost in the conditioned reactions that ensue.

As Victor Frankl said in his famous quote, there is a space between stimulus and reaction and in that space there is choice. That space is what we develop during mindfulness training. It is the space of consciousness. It is the space that opens up when we become mindful of the triggers that trigger our anxiety or depression or compulsion, and the subjective emotional reactions that are conditioned to those triggers.

We can become mindful of both, both the triggers and our habitual reactions. When you become mindful you break that chain of reactivity that feeds and reinforces anxiety or depression, and that is a very important step. The most important step of all, really, is to break that habit that feeds and proliferates emotional suffering.

When you develop a conscious and mindful relationship with your anxiety or depression then that brings in the other factor associated with consciousness, which is choice – Choice to respond to your anxiety, or to the triggers, or to negative thought patterns, or negative behaviors – the choice to respond in ways that are not reactive but are imbued with natural innate intelligence.

You can begin to change those patterns into more positive patterns if you have choice, and that is the second factor of Mindfulness Therapy. It is a way of developing more choice in how you relate to your mind and to the triggers that triggered those emotional reactions.

Talk to a therapist online now for anxiety and depression

Perhaps you would like to talk to a therapist anonymously rather than going to visit them in an office. Many people are choosing the online therapy option these days, not only because of convenience but because it’s much more comfortable for you the client. It’s less intimidating and in fact I believe over the years that I’ve been practicing online therapy that my clients tend to recover or improve much faster when they can talk to me online rather than come into the office.

It’s very important that during psychotherapy you are learning to become much more self-reliant, you are developing your own powers of working with your mind, with working with your emotions, and you don’t want to become dependent on a therapist or anyone else. You have to develop these skills internally. This is very, very important, especially if you’re struggling with anxiety or depression or addiction. And that’s what I specialize in teaching you during online therapy sessions.

During these sessions I will be basically teaching you how to work with your emotions using mindfulness. Now mindfulness is an immensely powerful way of changing the relationship that you have with your mind, with your emotions, with your emotional suffering, with your anxiety, with your depression, or whatever it may be.

Mindfulness training teaches you how to form a compassionate and very conscious relationship with your emotions instead of avoiding them or suppressing them, which is what most people learn how to do. They simply learn how to avoid their emotions or suppress them rather than actually making friends with them. Helping those parts of yourself that are in pain heal. That’s the central focus of mindfulness therapy and it works extremely well.

If you’d like to talk to a therapist online and you’d like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy then I invite you to go to my website and simply email me with any questions you may have about the online therapy approach. And when you feel ready you can schedule a therapy session with me via Skype at a time that works for you.

I see people worldwide. Most of my clients are in America but I also see clients in Western Europe and of course in the UK. I’m based in Colorado, but I find that it’s very effective talking to people who are genuinely interested in changing their emotional reactivity and overcoming patterns of suffering, and you don’t need to be an American to do that.

So if you would like to learn more about online therapy and you like to schedule a session with me and learn how to work with your emotions more effectively, then please send me an email. Thank you.

Can I talk to a therapist online? – Get help from a professional online therapist

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional online therapist and I provide online therapy for anxiety for depression, for addictions and other common psychological problems that can benefit from Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty.

So I’m often asked, “Can I talk to a therapist online?” and the answer is yes you can as long as you are looking for a therapist that can help you manage your emotional problems using psychological techniques like mindfulness rather than medications. You can’t receive prescription meds medications online of course.

However most people who are seeking online therapy have already tried medications and traditional talk therapy usually with very poor results.

Most people who come to me are looking for an alternative to conventional style psychotherapy and medications. They are looking for practical tools for managing anxiety and depression or addiction, and Mindfulness Therapy provides these solutions. It gives you very practical ways of working with your mind. It teaches you how to work with emotions and react to thinking without using medications, and it’s very effective indeed.

Most people who work with me can expect to see significant improvements within the first three to four sessions of online therapy. The key is learning how to change the way that you relate to your mind. You have to develop a different relationship with your emotions, that’s not based on avoidance or some form of self-criticism or self judgment or even based on some concept that these emotions are irrational.

Emotions are not irrational. They are mental formations that are formed for very good reasons, typically starting in childhood. They just get stuck, basically, and are not able to heal properly.

Mindfulness Therapy gives you the ability to continue the healing process of these emotional formations that have gotten stuck and it does this by bringing conscious awareness to the emotion.

You learn how to meditate on your emotions. This is quite new for many people. Most people are trying to escape their emotions or try to suppress them in some way, but that simply will not work. Those emotions must heal in order for you to be free from anxiety or depression or addiction.

If you’d like to learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach for healing emotional suffering, then please contact me so we can schedule an online therapy session.

Like I say, most people see quite substantial changes within the first few sessions of mindfulness training. So if you’d like to learn more about this approach and you like the idea of working with an online therapist because of its convenience, then please email me and we can schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you.

I see people throughout North America, Canada, Western Europe, the UK and as far away as Japan. So please contact me now.

If you’d like to talk to a psychotherapist online through Skype I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness based psychotherapy that I offer through Skype.

Mindfulness psychotherapy is a very effective approach for helping you manage anxiety and depression without using medications. As you well know medications may provide a temporary relief from symptoms but medications are not going to address the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression or other form of emotional suffering.

That underlying cause is psychological in nature. Essentially it’s a habit. We develop habits based around fear. That’s probably the most common core emotion behind anxiety and depression and many other of our problems. We become embroiled in this inner fear which then takes on many different forms as reactive thinking, other forms of emotional reactivity and also behaviors based around fear like avoidance and hatred and also addictions as well, another kind of behavioral reactivity based on fear primarily.

So when we are working with our emotions we work on changing this fear. We try to establish a relationship with that part of us that is in fear that is experiencing fear. We learn to comfort that we learn to help it heal, which can only happen when you esstablish a very strong conscious and compassionate relationship with your fear.

When you do this you provide the right vehicle that allows that fear to begin to heal itself. When you establish a really good mindful relationship with your fear then the rate of healing is greatly accelerated.

Mindfulness is all about building this quality of compassionate and non-reactive relationship with your mind, with your emotions, with your thoughts, with your beliefs, with your memories, whatever constitutes the content of your mind. We build a relationship with that content using mindfulness. It’s really a way of establishing a non-reactive conscious awareness and this is absolutely essential for healing.

When you bring mindfulness to fear or anxiety or depression it begins to heal and that rate of healing is greatly accelerated, as I said. So during sessions I will teach you how to use mindfulness to do this. How to actually meditate on your emotions, to meditate on that fear. That’s the most important practical skill that I will teach you.

You have to learn to actively engage with the fear, but not become overwhelmed by it. And that is the first purpose of meditating on your fear. It is learning how not to become overwhelmed by your fear, how not to become reactive and how not to allow that fear to propagate into cognitive reactivity or further emotional reactivity or behavioral reactivity.

So that’s essential. We learn to build or non-reactive relationship with our fear and then we help it heal through the medium of compassion. Now compassion here is specifically helping that emotion change in a direction that helps it heal. How we do that is something that we open up to discover through meditating on the emotion. We learn what is effective in helping it to heal.

The most effective thing we can do is to build a non-reactive relationship to it. This is the equivalent of being like a parent to a child. A child is suffering but the parent doesn’t react to that suffering. Instead he or she responds to that suffering with compassion and responds in a way that helps that child relieve his or her suffering.

So that’s what we have to do internally. We have to become like a parent to our emotional pain and to our fear, to our anxiety, to our depression. Whatever it is we have to build that parent child type relationship. That’s the first essential thing we must do if we want it to heal.

If we try to avoid it or we try to talk it away or we distract ourselves through some practice or other or through drugs or alcohol, that will not create the right relationship and it will not heal the underlying fear, and usually you will end up amplifying that fear.

So meditation is central. Learning to be with your fear without reacting and with compassion. Now this is a skill. You will have to work on this, but I will teach you in great detail exactly how to do this.
