About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Murrah is an LPC with 41 years of experience helping people navigate hard times. He focuses on practical change and clear thinking, guiding clients through issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and sleep problems. Jeffrey speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what a person is facing before deciding what to try next.

He brings decades of work across many settings, including hospitals, shelters, schools, foster care, and outpatient clinics. Those roles shaped his ability to respond to both urgent concerns and long-term struggles. He also draws on personal experience from life in a blended family, long-term marriage, parenting, and caregiving for an aging parent.

Jeffrey uses psychodynamic approaches alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to help people see patterns and change unhelpful habits. He also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods when the goal is practical problem solving. Sessions typically aim to surface what’s keeping someone stuck and then try small, manageable steps toward relief.

His work covers a broad set of concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, process addictions, caregiver stress, ADHD, and sleeping difficulties. He often helps people recover from infidelity, address family of origin problems, and manage stress from life transitions.

Jeffrey aims to build a supportive, goal-oriented partnership. He listens carefully, encourages new perspectives, and helps people put practical strategies into place. For those who want to change how they handle pain, anger, or habits, he offers steady, experienced guidance.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Jeffrey often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going, then practice new behavior and coping skills to reduce symptoms. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and how past relationships influence current feelings and actions.

Finding the right method is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which approach or mix of approaches to try. That collaborative process helps match strategies to what a person actually wants to change.

Because the biography does not specify which online session formats he offers, please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats may be more useful for skill practice, while others suit longer conversation or reviewing progress; Jeffrey can discuss which will best support goals during the initial matching and scheduling process.
