About Susan

Dr. Susan Murati is an LMHC and LCMHC with 19 years of clinical experience in New Hampshire. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship and career problems, and anger. Susan frames therapy as practical conversation and skill building to help people manage strong feelings and life transitions.

Her background is in cultural psychology and long-term counseling practice across varied concerns. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. That mix lets her move between skill drills, values-focused work, and exploring personal stories as needed.

Sessions are interactive and focused on concrete changes. Expect clear strategies for handling anger, stress, panic, and workplace strain alongside chances to reflect on family of origin issues and identity concerns. She often uses CBT tools for thought patterns and DBT skills for managing intense emotion.

Susan also addresses grief, addictions, intimacy issues, and challenges that come with midlife or career transitions. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and prejudice or discrimination when those affect daily life. Practical problem solving and step-by-step plans are common parts of her work.

People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then act in line with personal values; it can be useful for anger that feels stuck in patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, and anger through practical exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for managing intense feelings and reducing reactive responses.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit the goals and daily life. That collaboration lets sessions be adjusted as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, and remove commute time. They can also let someone use a phone instead of video when that helps with bandwidth or attention. Ask about available session formats during the initial scheduling step to plan what will work best.
