Dr. Chastity Murray, LMHC

Dr. Chastity Murray helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, and major life changes. Dr. Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and has practiced for 15 years in New York.

Her style blends straightforward problem-solving with a warm, person-centered stance. She listens for what matters most to each person and then works toward practical steps. Sessions often focus on small, doable changes that add up over time.

Dr. Murray uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She pairs that with client-centered listening so people can set their own priorities. Solution-focused techniques are used to map next steps and build momentum.

In conversation she balances support with gentle challenge. She will ask clear questions and offer tasks that can be tried between sessions. The goal is to help people make progress on the issues they name and to build skills they can apply outside therapy.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, attachment issues, communication problems, and multicultural matters. She also helps with pregnancy and childbirth related stress and with people exploring life purpose or coping with co-morbid conditions. Dr. Murray aims to create a practical path forward.

CBT and Person-Centered Support Online

Dr. Murray commonly draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change routines that keep problems going. CBT techniques tend to be focused and practical, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addiction-related behaviors.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective and goals, offering a supportive space to talk through difficult experiences. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small next steps and build momentum toward specific outcomes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. That makes it easier to adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation while phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written work between sessions. These remote formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of getting support.
