About Chastity
Dr. Chastity Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, career decisions, depression, and life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns.
Her style is grounded in client-centered work and solution-focused methods. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens to each person’s story and helps them identify what they want to change.
Dr. Murray uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. She combines that with solution-focused techniques to build short-term strategies that can be practiced between sessions. The client-centered stance keeps the person's priorities central during planning.
In sessions she helps people sort through family conflict, substance and alcohol problems, and questions about life purpose or career direction. She offers direct questions when needed and supports clients in testing small changes that can lead to clearer decisions.
For people feeling stuck after major life events, or for those facing ongoing anxiety or grief, her approach combines practical tools with one-on-one conversation. She helps clients map steps toward their own identified goals and checks progress as those steps are put into practice.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. In practice this means sessions start by asking what matters most and adjusting the conversation to those goals. It helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and figuring out life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It introduces practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Solution-focused therapy centers on small, achievable changes. Sessions emphasize coping strategies and steps clients can try between meetings to test what works for them.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new concerns arise.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around study, work, or busy weeks. It can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Discussing practical needs helps shape how sessions run.
