01About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Murrah is a licensed professional counselor with more than 41 years of experience helping people through hard seasons of life. He listens, asks direct questions, and helps clients find new ways to respond to old problems. His approach is practical and grounded in real experience.
He has worked in many settings over the years including hospitals, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school counseling offices, college classrooms, church counseling, foster care homes, and outpatient clinics.
Background and approach
Those varied roles shaped a broad view of common struggles and what helps in day-to-day life. Jeffrey draws on client-centered methods and psychodynamic ideas alongside cognitive behavioral tools. That mix lets him focus both on current habits and on deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
Sessions often look at practical steps plus the thoughts and feelings behind them. He also speaks from personal experience with blended family life, long-term marriage, parenting, and caregiving for an aging parent. Those life events inform his work with issues like relationship strain, grief, and caregiver stress.
Typical concerns he helps people with include addiction and process addictions, relationship and communication problems, parenting and blended family issues, depression and bipolar mood concerns, anxiety and stress, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. He also supports people facing career transitions and compassion fatigue. Jeffrey offers straightforward, collaborative help.
He listens carefully, suggests practical strategies, and works with each person to set goals that fit their life and values.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
This therapist uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and building a supportive relationship that lets people talk through hard things. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and actions together and tests new ways of responding to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jeffrey will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can start in your first session and change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions helps. Phone sessions can fit a tighter schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
