About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Murrah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 41 years of experience. He focuses on practical change when people are tired, hurting, or overwhelmed. He listens closely and helps people find new ways of managing their problems.
He blends client-centered work with psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means he pays attention to how a person's history affects them now and also uses hands-on strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and actions.
How Jeffrey works
Sessions often include talking through past patterns and trying new ways to respond. Jeffrey has worked in many settings over four decades, including hospitals, halfway houses, shelters, schools, foster care homes, and outpatient clinics. These roles gave him broad experience with addiction, grief, relationship breakdowns, caregiving stress, and other life strains.
Personal experience has shaped his approach. He grew up in a blended family, has been married more than 35 years, raised three homeschooled sons, and helped care for a parent with dementia. Those life events inform how he talks about family stress, blended family issues, and caregiver burdens.
Common themes in his practice include addiction and process addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and blended family concerns, anxiety and depression, and coping with life changes. He works to uncover strengths and translate them into everyday steps clients can try between sessions. Jeffrey aims to form a collaborative relationship with each person.
He listens, reflects, and helps set realistic goals. The emphasis is on clear, usable strategies that fit a client's life and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, empathetic relationship to help clients feel heard and valued; online formats let that conversation continue by video or messaging so progress can happen from different settings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. Online sessions can include short practical exercises, worksheets, and agreed homework that clients can use between meetings to make steady change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they will try approaches and adjust based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins or clarifying questions, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections and brief coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
