About Susan
Dr. Susan Murati is an LMHC and LCMHC practicing in New Hampshire with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and career challenges, trauma, grief, and other life changes. Dr. Murati also lists specialties such as intimacy-related issues, addictions, bipolar concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is interactive and person-focused. Sessions use cognitive behavioral tools alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies and motivational interviewing when those methods fit a client's needs. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on skills and decisions you can try between sessions.
Dr. Murati pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and to problems that come from family of origin or ongoing family conflict. She helps people talk through communication problems, feelings of isolation, guilt and shame, and challenges around life purpose. Workplace stress, social anxiety, panic episodes, and women's issues are also within her listed areas.
When someone is coping with major change, grief, or a difficult relationship, she focuses on concrete steps and clearer thinking. She helps set small goals, practice coping skills, and consider values that guide choices. Motivation and behavior change techniques are used for addiction and career-related work.
For a first session she expects a straightforward conversation about goals and history. That initial meeting is used to map out what to try next and how to measure progress. If you are deciding whether to book, review the online therapy options and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and uncertainty about career or identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT is commonly used for panic, social anxiety, and mood concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and choose methods based on goals, preferences, and what has helped before. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses. Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or school, allow for shorter check-ins on busy days, and reduce travel time. Online overviews can let the therapist assign exercises, review progress, and problem-solve between meetings in ways that fit everyday life. If you want to know exactly which session formats are available, check the online therapy options and the matching questionnaire before scheduling.Areas of expertise
