Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Dr. Susan Murati draws from evidence-informed approaches that work well in virtual settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult emotions while taking steps that align with personal values. This approach can be especially helpful when clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring ambivalence with curiosity and respect, which can be useful for habit change, self-esteem, and goal-focused work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Murati collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what fits their preferences, then adapts sessions accordingly.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and they can use live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support and reflection between sessions. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy even with a busy schedule or limited time to travel.
