About Susan

Dr. Susan Murati offers a warm, interactive approach that centers on the person in front of her. She is a licensed mental health counselor with experience across many concerns, including anxiety and panic disorder and panic attacks. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

She trained as a Cultural Psychologist and holds MA LMHC and New Hampshire LCMHC credentials. Dr. Murati has worked in counseling for 19 years and has supported people facing depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship strain, career stress, and more. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with respect and sensitivity.

In sessions she combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative work. She also uses supportive techniques and motivational interviewing to help people set goals and stay motivated. Conversations focus on skills you can use between meetings and clearer ways to handle panic, worry, or difficult moods.

Dr. Murati adapts her approach to each person’s needs. She will listen first, then suggest steps that match your goals and pace. The process emphasizes small, realistic changes and developing tools for day-to-day life.

If you are thinking about starting therapy, she encourages taking a first step and offers steady support while you work toward more ease and balance.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values, which can reduce the impact of anxiety and panic without trying to erase every worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep panic and anxiety cycling. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace while exploring what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Murati will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will pick methods that fit your needs. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting strategies as you learn what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter or more flexible meeting times. It also allows people to practice skills in their everyday routines and bring real situations into sessions for discussion and problem solving.
