About Susan
Dr. Susan Murati brings nearly two decades of counseling experience to her practice in New Hampshire, drawing on a foundation in cognitive behavioral methods alongside narrative, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and supportive approaches.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person's background and identity, aiming to tailor interventions to the specific concerns a client brings. Her work addresses a broad set of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, career challenges, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her style emphasizes warmth, respect, and sensitivity without relying on stigmatizing labels. Dr.
Murati integrates techniques from multiple schools of thought to help clients develop practical skills, explore personal narratives, and clarify values and goals.
With credentials as an LMHC and LCMHC and 19 years of professional practice, she offers experience working with multicultural matters, midlife transitions, workplace problems, communication and family-of-origin issues, self-esteem and forgiveness work, panic and social anxiety, and compassion fatigue. She invites clients ready to pursue change to begin a supportive, individualized process toward clearer purpose and improved coping.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access
Dr. Murati commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach often applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying personal values and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Client-centered techniques are used to create an empathetic, supportive environment that helps clients feel heard as they explore life purpose, relationships, and self-esteem concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work in therapy. She partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods so treatment aligns with what matters most to the client rather than insisting on a single modality.
Online therapy with Dr. Murati is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations within her service area.
