About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Murrah is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 41 years of clinical experience. He focuses on addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and a broad range of mood and stress-related problems. He uses practical talking and thinking strategies to help people change the ways they respond to problems.
Jeffrey’s background spans hospitals, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school counseling, college classrooms, church counseling, foster care homes and outpatient clinics. Those settings shaped a straightforward style that combines thinking-oriented tools with insight about life patterns. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and long-standing patterns.
Clients often bring issues such as addiction, infidelity recovery, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and caregiver stress. He also works with challenges like blended family dynamics, communication problems, process addictions, and work or career strain. His lived experience in a blended family and years of caregiving inform his perspective on family-related stress.
In sessions he uses structured techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns, and he uses reflective work to uncover how past relationships affect current choices. He offers coaching-style guidance when people want clear steps to change habits or manage symptoms more effectively.
Jeffrey asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. The intake helps clarify goals and the next steps for scheduling a first session. He provides services in English and accepts international clients.
How his approaches translate to online work
Jeffrey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings and behaviors into concrete steps. CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing alternative beliefs and practicing new behaviors between meetings. This approach tends to help with anxiety, mood, sleep problems and addiction-related habits.He also integrates client-centered and psychodynamic methods. Client-centered work involves listening and reflecting to help people clarify goals. Psychodynamic elements look at how past relationships and family patterns influence current reactions, which can be useful for relationship strain and recurring conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try practical techniques, and adjust the focus as needed. Collaboration helps decide whether more CBT exercises or deeper reflective work fits best.
