About Susan
Dr. Susan Murati brings nearly two decades of counseling experience to people coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. She is a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC and LCMHC - practicing in New Hampshire and uses an approachable, nonjudgmental style to help clients make meaningful changes.
Her work blends straightforward cognitive techniques with acceptance-based and narrative approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs and goals. Dr. Murati often helps people who are dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain, career uncertainty, or burnout.
She also supports those facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, and intimacy-related worries. Communication problems, family of origin issues, and feelings of isolation are also common topics she addresses. Her background as a cultural psychologist informs how she sees identity, bias, and multicultural concerns at play in daily life.
She aims to create space where cultural context matters and clients' stories are treated with respect. Therapy with her mixes practical skills, motivational conversations, and an emphasis on personal values. She encourages small experiments in living differently and helps people track what works.
Her style is warm, interactive, and focused on usable change.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and practical skill-building
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It works well for panic, worry, low mood, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps build self-understanding and confidence.Finding the right approach is a process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what fits best. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections, brief coaching, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can use the format that matches their needs and routine.
