About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Murrah is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 41 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anger, addiction, relationship stress, grief, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and sleep problems. Jeffrey draws on long experience in varied settings to help people think differently about recurring problems.

He has worked in inpatient hospitals, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school counseling offices, college classrooms, church counseling, foster care homes and outpatient clinics. Those settings shaped his practical approach to everyday struggles. He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current behavior and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and actions.

Jeffrey also brings personal experience from life in a blended family, long-term marriage, parenting, and caregiving for an elder with dementia. He says those experiences inform his understanding of communication problems, blended-family issues, caregiver stress, and forgiveness after breaches such as infidelity.

Typical work includes helping people manage anger and stress, reduce substance or process addictions, repair trust after infidelity, and build steadier mood and self-esteem. He often guides clients through grief, trauma effects, or the practical strains of caregiving and career transitions.

Sessions focus on clear conversation, practical steps, and looking at where patterns began. He listens, asks questions that prompt new thinking, and suggests concrete techniques from CBT, psychodynamic work, and solution-focused methods. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship so the client can speak freely and try new ways of thinking. It helps with motivation, relationship problems, and emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and skill practice. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, mood, and addiction-related patterns.

Psychodynamic techniques look at recurring patterns that come from past experiences and how they play out now. This approach can help with long-standing relationship patterns, family of origin issues, and repeating cycles of behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to test what helps most, combining conversation, behavioral tasks, and insight-based reflection as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to try and adjust as goals change.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the day, or remove the need to be on camera when that helps. Discuss format preferences when you arrange the first session so practical arrangements match your needs.
