About Chastity
Dr. Chastity Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and family problems, and grief. She also supports clients facing parenting strain, anger, career decisions, and life changes.
Her style is practical and structured. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps rather than long, open-ended discussion.
Dr. Murray listens for what a person wants to change and then helps set small, achievable targets. She balances direct questions and challenges with attention to the person’s own priorities. That can mean practicing new ways of thinking, testing different behaviors, or identifying patterns that keep problems repeating.
She has worked with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, substance use, attachment concerns, and co-occurring issues. Her approach includes addressing communication problems, impulsivity, codependency, and multicultural concerns when those arise in sessions.
People who prefer a focused, goal-oriented process may find this approach helpful. Dr. Murray asks about practical outcomes and tracks progress so sessions stay on task. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Murray draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions typically involve setting a clear goal, practicing skill-based exercises, and reviewing what worked between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s priorities and Solution-Focused Therapy to create short-term, actionable plans. Client-centered work means she listens for what matters most to the client, and solution-focused steps help break larger problems into small tasks that can be tried right away.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed. That means the first sessions often focus on clarifying outcomes and deciding which techniques to try.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so focused work can begin sooner. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
