About Chastity
LMHC in New York with 15 years of experience, Dr. Chastity Murray helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She also addresses concerns related to LGBT issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Dr. Murray uses Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution-Focused approaches to work toward practical goals.
Dr. Murray keeps sessions focused on clear outcomes. She listens for what matters most and then helps clients set short-term steps. Conversations include examining current patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what works. The emphasis is on actions that fit day-to-day life rather than abstract concepts.
She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try alternative responses. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she attends to each person’s perspective. Solution-Focused methods help shape brief, goal-oriented plans and measurable next steps.
Across 15 years she has worked with people dealing with substance use, domestic violence-related issues, attachment and communication problems, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns, career questions, and multicultural or identity-related stressors. Her caseload has included both people who have harmed others and people who experienced harm.
Dr. Murray asks clients to name the outcomes they want and then helps structure sessions toward those ends. Typical sessions involve reviewing recent events, practicing new skills, and planning small experiments to try between meetings. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Dr. Murray applies her approaches in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what each person brings. In practice she uses this approach to clarify a person’s concerns and priorities so goals come from the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new responses between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to concrete goals and next steps, helping clients create short experiments to try in daily life.Determining the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is that therapy can fit into a busy week. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know whether sessions are scheduled by video or another option. People often find remote meetings easier to fit around work, childcare, or travel, and they allow time for short check-ins or focused skill practice without a long commute.
