About Chastity
Dr. Chastity Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She supports individuals dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and life transitions.
People also come to her for help with self-esteem, anger, and career decisions. Her style blends client-centered care with practical problem solving. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on small, concrete steps that move toward clear goals.
Background and approach
She encourages honest conversation and will gently challenge clients when that helps progress. Dr. Murray uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also uses Solution-Focused methods to set short-term goals and track measurable change. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and tone of the work, keeping the client's experience central. Across 15 years of practice she has worked with many kinds of concerns, including trauma, domestic violence, and substance issues.
Her background includes addressing attachment difficulties, communication problems, and multicultural issues. That range helps her adapt approaches to the person's situation. In sessions she helps people name what matters, try new ways of coping, and evaluate what works.
The focus is practical - clearer choices, better day-to-day coping, and steps toward the goals the person sets.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and following their pace. Online sessions give space for open conversation, listening, and reflection while the therapist supports the client's own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. In online sessions the therapist and client can set homework, review patterns, and track progress between meetings.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and measurable change. This approach works well online because short-term goals and quick check-ins can be scheduled to keep momentum.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, try methods that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients take an active role in choosing goals and tracking results.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused and practical.
