About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Murrah is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 41 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing addictions, relationship struggles, grief, sleep problems, anger, anxiety, depression, and career stress. Jeffrey also supports those dealing with trauma, caregiving strain, blended family issues, and process addictions.
His work draws on long experience in many settings. He has worked in in-patient hospitals, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school counseling, college classrooms, church counseling, foster care homes, and outpatient clinics. Those roles shape how he listens and the practical ways he helps people change patterns that cause pain.
Jeffrey uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships and family history affect current behavior. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want concrete steps and short-term goals.
He talks plainly about issues like infidelity, addiction, codependency, and forgiveness. He draws on personal experience with blended families and long-term caregiving to understand family conflict and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to help people think differently about their problems and try new responses.
Jeffrey often helps people who feel overwhelmed find manageable ways forward. He listens, asks questions that provoke new thinking, and offers practical strategies to reduce anger, improve communication, and rebuild trust. People interested in a first session are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment through the online options provided.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can find their own solutions; it helps people who need a steady, nonjudgmental listener while they sort through anger and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses small experiments to change them; it is useful for managing angry reactions, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships, such as how family history shapes reactions, and can help people understand recurring anger or relationship conflict. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made, and he aims to be collaborative about which techniques to use. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into work and caregiving schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit isn't practical. Online work also makes it simpler to continue therapy across moves or when distance is a factor. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, psychodynamic conversations, and solution-focused steps to an online setting so the work can still focus on managing anger, improving communication, and practicing new responses.Areas of expertise
