About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Murrah is an LPC with more than four decades of experience helping people face difficult life moments. He speaks plainly and listens carefully, so clients can find clearer ways to manage stress, relationship pain, addiction, grief, and anxiety.
His career spans many settings - in-patient hospitals, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school counseling, college classrooms, church counseling, foster care homes, and outpatient clinics. Those roles shaped a practical approach to real-life problems.
Background and approach
He draws on both psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people understand patterns and change behaviors. Jeffrey also brings personal perspective from growing up in a blended family, raising three sons, supporting a spouse across 35 years of marriage, and caring for a parent with dementia.
Those experiences inform his work with family-of-origin issues, blended family concerns, caregiving stress, and communication problems. He helps people facing addictions, process addictions, infidelity recovery, low self-esteem, anger, sleep trouble, and major life transitions. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new coping skills, and identifying strengths that help people move forward.
Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and practical guidance. Jeffrey aims to work together with each person to set goals and try approaches that fit their life. If someone wants to explore change and reduce worry or overwhelm, he offers a straightforward starting point.
Approaches that fit your life, offered online
Jeffrey uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to each person, letting the client's goals shape the sessions and pace. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage cravings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs, adjusting strategies as progress is made. The partnership is practical and goal oriented rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls are useful for longer work on feelings and communication. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messages work well for quick reflections, coaching-style support, or follow up between longer sessions. These options aim to make it simpler to get help when and how it fits a schedule.
