She combines cognitive behavioral methods with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals. This means practical skills work alongside conversations about values and personal stories.

Dr. Murati also helps people facing relationship strain, career transitions, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Additional areas she addresses include self-esteem, communication problems, workplace issues, and multicultural or prejudice-related stress.

Her approach can include motivational interviewing and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support coping, emotion regulation, and behavior change. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on what will move a person forward in daily life.

Dr. Murati holds an MA and practices in New Hampshire as an LCMHC and is also licensed as an LMHC. With 19 years of experience, she aims to help people build clearer goals, practical strategies, and a stronger sense of direction.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often includes simple exercises to notice thoughts and commit to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical strategies and skill practice that can be used between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting a person's own process of change through reflective conversation.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can try practical techniques, adjust what isn't working, and decide what feels most helpful over time.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, such as fitting a short check-in during a lunch break or attending without travel time. If you plan to begin, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. The focus will be on making therapy useful and workable within your everyday life.
