About Chastity
Dr. Chastity Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, anger, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as parenting, LGBT issues, and career questions.
Her style blends client-centered listening with practical tools. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and prioritize small, achievable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety.
In sessions she works collaboratively to define what a successful outcome looks like. She balances supportive conversation with direct questions that prompt self-reflection and action. That means expect both steady listening and concrete homework or experiments between sessions.
Dr. Murray has worked with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, substance use, and complicated family dynamics. She brings experience helping clients address attachment concerns, communication problems, and codependency. Her approach is practical and focused on measurable progress rather than vague promises.
She helps people navigate grief, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, workplace frustration, and multicultural stressors. For anyone troubled by recurring anger or by someone else’s anger, she offers structured ways to recognize triggers and respond differently. If you want straightforward, goal-oriented work on temper and related issues, she can help map a plan.
To begin, clients complete a short intake and identify priority goals. Sessions aim to move from recognition to clear next steps, with progress checked regularly and plans revised as needed.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can clarify goals and values. This approach helps when anger is tied to relationship issues or feeling misunderstood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It helps people spot patterns that lead to outbursts and practice alternative responses through small experiments between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal oriented and practical. It prioritizes steps that can be tried quickly, which can be useful for managing workplace frustration or simmering resentment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what helps and adjusting plans as progress is made.
