Online Therapists are effective for depression and anxiety

There are now many online therapists to choose from. I offer online Mindfulness Therapy, which works extremely well online via Skype and which has proven immensely helpful for many people.

Online Therapist, Dr. Peter Strong

My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist living in Boulder, Colorado. I offer online therapy through Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and also for working with addictions.
Have you ever thought about talking to a therapist over the internet? It's a very good and very popular option these days. Many people are choosing this as an alternative to a meeting with a therapist in an office. One reason is that it is much more convenient, of course, since you don't have to drive to the counselor's office. You don't have to waste all that time spent driving or waiting. You can call from home, or from your office, or wherever you are, even from your hotel room if you're traveling abroad. It's definitely preferable for most people. Most of my clients are looking for an alternative to medications or the medical-based approach for treating anxiety or depression. In deed, most have already tried that route with limited success and are looking for a different approach. Mindfulness Therapy provides a very refreshing new look at how to treat anxiety and depression, by working on changing the underlying causes of emotional suffering rather than just treating the symptoms.

Skype Therapy

With the advent of videoconferencing over the internet it's now possible to talk to a therapist online and see him or her at the same time. It's really just the same as if you were in the office together. I've been working with therapy online for over 5 years years now. As far as I'm concerned there is no real difference between online or in-person therapy, especially if you're teaching some form of cognitive therapy or mindfulness therapy, as I teach, where the emphasis is on teaching skills for working with difficult emotions. This can be transmitted online through Skype just as well as it can face-to-face in the office.

The things that I most often work with are various anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder, panic attacks, agoraphobia, non-clinical depression, emotional stress and PTSD, and many other emotional problems that you may be struggling with.

The variety of therapy that I provide is called Mindfulness Therapy. This is a modern form of CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, that incorporates this one skill called mindfulness.

Really the whole focus of mindfulness-based CBT is to teach you how to form a different quality of relationship with your emotions, because this is the central problem right here. Most of us react to our emotions with aversion, resistance and avoidance. First there is a stimulus, something happens, someone says something and then immediately you react with an emotional reaction. It becomes habitual. Then those habitual emotional reactions just run our life and we become a victim to these habits.

The whole focus of mindfulness therapy is to learn to see these habitual reactions as soon as they arise and through becoming aware of them you begin to break free from their grip. Then you can begin to work on the underlying emotional energy that fuels that habitual emotional reaction. Through mindfulness practice you begin to neutralize the emotional energy that fuels the habit, then the habit cannot sustain itself and it just changes.

Mindfulness therapy is a very good choice for many people these days. It's becoming very popular, especially for treating anxiety and depression.

During these therapy sessions, and most sessions are between 60 and 90 minutes, I will teach you very specific practical methods for working with anxiety and depression.

I will teach you how to essentially meditate on your anxiety. You have to from a stable relationship with the anxiety that's non-reactive. Most of us simply react to our anxiety or other unpleasant emotions with avoidance or some form of aversion. We don't like these emotions and we try to get rid of them. This is actually the worst thing you could possibly do. This aversion makes the anxiety grow stronger; any form of reactivity simply strengthens the anxiety.

What I have found, and many others in the field of Mindfulness Therapy, is that what really creates change and transformation is when we can hold the emotion in our conscious awareness without reacting to it with hatred. When you do that you are learning how to effectively be with that negative emotion without becoming reactive and without becoming overcome by it. This teaches the mind a totally different way of processing that experience, and this effective way of being with the emotion without reacting allows the emotion to heal.
