About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Murrah is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 41 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and a wide range of life disruptions. His background includes work in hospitals, shelters, schools, foster care, and outpatient clinics, which shapes how he approaches each case.
Jeffrey draws on psychodynamic methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on understanding underlying feelings that keep problems repeating. He talks through relationship issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and recovery from addiction or infidelity in straightforward terms.
His long career includes counseling in inpatient settings, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school offices, college classrooms, church counseling, foster homes, and outpatient centers. That variety has exposed him to many forms of hardship and many ways people adapt. He also has personal experience in a blended family and with caregiving for an elderly parent, which informs his perspective.
In meetings he listens, asks questions that prompt new thinking, and offers techniques from CBT and psychodynamic work. He also uses solution-focused ideas for shorter-term goals. People often leave with concrete strategies to manage stress, sleep, anger, or addictive behaviors.
Jeffrey works with adults on issues such as parenting, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood swings, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He accepts international clients and provides sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jeffrey relies heavily on psychodynamic ideas and on cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychodynamic work focuses on how past relationships and repeated patterns shape current feelings and reactions. This can help with longstanding relationship problems, grief, and family of origin issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces specific exercises to change unhelpful routines. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and many addiction-related behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals and preferences during the first sessions and adapt methods based on what the client needs. That conversation helps decide whether to spend more time on insight and patterns or on brief, practical strategies.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into weekdays or work breaks, avoid travel time, and use short check-ins when needed. For some people, online meetings allow steady weekly work with exercises and homework between sessions, while for others a few focused conversations address a pressing issue.
