About Chastity
Dr. Chastity Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on things like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship struggles including codependency. She also helps people dealing with grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and career or life transitions.
Her sessions follow a person-centered style that keeps the clients goals in view. She uses solution-focused techniques to identify clear next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors need practical change.
In conversation she aims to be direct and practical. She listens for what a person wants to change and then helps design small, doable actions toward that aim. She will also ask questions that challenge old patterns when that helps move things forward.
Dr. Murray has experience with a wide range of concerns that often overlap, such as addiction and domestic violence, or attachment issues alongside depression. She addresses co-occurring problems rather than treating each issue in isolation. Her focus is on what a person wants to achieve and how to get there.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing the sense of who they are in close relationships may find her approach relevant. Sessions are practical, goal-oriented, and keep the persons priorities at the center of the work.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood, which can make decision-making clearer even when life feels chaotic.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Online sessions can use CBT to identify thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes between meetings, which suits stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what the client wants to achieve next. It breaks big problems into small, concrete steps and tracks progress week to week, which can be useful for issues like codependency or addiction-related goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made or circumstances shift.
If you plan to work online, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit around work or family responsibilities, and some sessions can be shorter check-ins when a quick plan or problem-solving is needed. Online work can also reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep momentum between meetings.
