About Susan
Dr. Susan Murati is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, trauma, and a range of life transitions. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps clients can use day to day.
Her background is in cultural psychology and long-term counseling work. She uses several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, narrative methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies, and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to help people notice patterns, practice different responses, and build skills for handling triggers and intense feelings.
In sessions she keeps interaction active and collaborative. Conversations often include structured skill practice, examining thoughts and assumptions, and working through personal stories that shape current behavior. The aim is to reduce unhelpful reactions and increase choices when stress or anger appears.
Dr. Murati also addresses workplace stress, grief, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues around identity and discrimination. She helps clients with relationship communication, forgiveness, and rebuilding after painful experiences.
People seeking a practical, skills-focused approach will find a clinician who emphasizes clear steps and reasoning. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to explore next steps.
Approaches used in online sessions
Dr. Murati draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to guide online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action rather than getting stuck in reactive patterns. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce distress and manage anger triggers. Client-Centered elements keep the conversation person-focused and respectful, helping clients explore what matters to them and how they want to change.Finding the best approach is collaborative. She will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation usually starts in the first sessions and can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice so clients can apply them between sessions and during real-world moments.
