About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Murrah is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 41 years of practice. He brings a calm, direct style to sessions and aims to help people find clearer ways to cope. He often works with issues like anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles.
Jeffrey has practiced in many settings over four decades. His background includes in-patient hospitals, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school counseling, college classrooms, church counseling, foster care homes, and outpatient clinics.
Background and approach
Those varied roles give him practical insight into everyday problems and long-term challenges. He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current life. He also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions focus on learning new responses and trying small, doable changes between meetings. Growing up in a blended family and caring for an aging parent have shaped his perspective on family strain and caregiving stress. He has been married for over 35 years and raised three sons who were homeschooled, which informs his approach to parenting and blended-family concerns.
Jeffrey works with a wide range of struggles including process addictions, drug and alcohol addiction, infidelity recovery, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. He listens closely, helps people identify strengths, and collaborates on practical steps toward their goals. If someone wants straightforward guidance and tools for managing anger or other challenges, he encourages an initial conversation.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Jeffrey commonly uses psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches. Psychodynamic work looks at long-standing patterns and early influences to understand why a person reacts the way they do today, which can help with relationship troubles, anger, and grief. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing cravings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jeffrey treats the process as collaborative and will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods seem most likely to help. He adjusts the plan over time based on what the person finds useful.
Online sessions offer flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, coaching, or step-by-step practice more convenient. These options let people fit therapy into their routine and keep progress moving even when schedules are tight.
