About Chastity
Dr. Chastity Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and substance use concerns. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, grief, family challenges, parenting stress, and life transitions.
Her work is grounded in practical steps that aim to move people toward goals they set for themselves. Dr. Murray favors a person-centered style that keeps the client’s priorities at the center of each session.
Background and approach
She combines that with solution-focused techniques to identify clear, manageable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her approach when it helps people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist listens first and offers targeted questions and exercises next.
Sessions often include action plans, skill-building, and short-term strategies for coping with intense emotions and impulses. She balances support with gentle challenges to promote honest self-reflection. Over 15 years of clinical experience inform how she tailors interventions to each person’s needs.
That background includes work with people dealing with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and co-occurring issues like addiction and mood concerns. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, and multicultural considerations. Dr.
Murray works with adults to clarify values, reduce distress, and take practical steps toward change. She encourages people to define what they want from therapy and to try strategies that fit their daily lives.

Approaches Chastity lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How her approaches work online
Dr. Murray uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT exercises can include practical homework, thought records, and skills to manage anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps break problems into small, achievable steps and builds on existing strengths. It is useful when someone wants fast, goal-oriented change and clear action plans.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and effective.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well for people with limited bandwidth or when video isn’t convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
