About Chastity
Dr. Chastity Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She uses a direct and practical style to help clients identify goals and take concrete steps toward them.
Her work is grounded in respect and a focus on what the person wants to change. She takes a person-centered approach, listening closely to each person's story before suggesting next steps.
Background and approach
That style keeps the conversation grounded in the client's priorities while guiding toward clear outcomes. Dr. Murray also uses solution-focused techniques to break large problems into manageable actions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolbox for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She uses brief exercises and real-world practice to help people notice what keeps problems going and try new responses.
Over 15 years of clinical work have brought experience with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and substance issues. She welcomes discussions about multicultural concerns and life purpose as part of goal planning. In sessions she balances support with challenge, asking direct questions that encourage honest reflection.
The focus is practical: identify a goal, try a small change, and review what worked. That steady rhythm helps people move forward on the issues they brought to therapy.

How Dr. Murray's Approaches Work Online
Dr. Murray uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. This means listening, reflecting, and shaping the work around each person's goals so the pace feels right for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical alternatives. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily patterns that get in the way of parenting or work.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps break problems into small, achievable steps. The focus is on what can be done now to move toward a preferred outcome rather than on a long review of the past.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Murray will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues; phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework discussion, or when a written conversation fits someone's schedule. These formats let people fit therapy into busy family or work routines and try different ways of connecting to see what works best.
