Susan Murati, a licensed mental health counselor with an MA and 19 years of experience based in New Hampshire.

How Susan works
That mix is used to reduce symptoms, clarify values, and build skills for everyday life. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. Common concerns she addresses include mood disorders, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and workplace stress.
She also helps people facing midlife questions, career shifts, loneliness, and issues tied to cultural and social pressures. Practical skills for anxiety, panic, and anger management are offered alongside longer-term work on identity, purpose, and self-worth. Her style is interactive and compassionate.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on respectful listening, concrete strategies, and motivational support. People leave sessions with clear next steps and tools they can try between meetings. To begin, she guides clients through a short plan that matches goals to methods.
That plan is adjusted as progress is made so therapy stays relevant, useful, and focused on real-life change.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters most to them and take small committed actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and social anxiety. It produces concrete exercises and homework that work well in remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and guided while deciding their next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what fits a person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps create a plan that combines skill-building with values-driven goals.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text sessions suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on real progress.
