Online Therapist provides Online Therapy for Depression

Jan. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Depression affects over 40% of adults in the US. In its more severe form, medical treatment is required along with the prescription of a suitable antidepressant. Medications can reduce the acute symptoms of depression, and this can be a very important part of the recovery process, but medications are not designed to change the underlying psychological processes that cause the depression. To change the cause, some form of psychotherapy with a therapist is recommended.

However, many people are not comfortable with going to a conventional psychologist or counselor for help. It can be intimidating and embarrassing to talk about ones problems with a stranger. It can also be very inconvenient for many people, such as mothers with small children or people who have to travel for work. Another issue is that many people suffering from depression do not want to see someone locally who may know their family and friends.

Recognizing the tremendous need that exists for quality help in managing depression, Dr. Peter Strong, a Professional Psychotherapist from Boulder, Colorado, provides an Online Counseling Service via Skype. This revolutionary new approach allows clients to see and talk to a therapist online live, and it feels like you are in the same room together. People like working with an online therapist in this way, because it feels so much more comfortable having a session at home. The computer interface also makes the experience much less intimidating for the client, and most people feel very much more at ease and able to express themselves better during online therapy.

There is now a growing body of evidence showing that online therapy is just as effective as conventional therapy and working with an online therapist may even be more effective, simply because clients feel more at ease and more in charge of their healing process.

Dr. Peter Strong is a pioneer of Mindfulness Therapy and author of ‘The Path of Mindfulness Meditation.’ Mindfulness Therapy is a modern form of Cognitive Therapy (CBT) that incorporates the powerful healing properties of mindfulness. The focus of Mindfulness Therapy Online is to teach people how to work with the core emotions that cause depression, using techniques that can be practiced at home and between sessions. This approach works particularly well online via Skype. If you are interested in working with an online therapist visit http://www.counselingtherapyonline.com and complete the contact form.
