Deanna Murray, LMFT

Deanna Murray is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Her approach is respectful and warm, and she works to meet each person where they are.

Deanna draws on 13 years of professional experience in Texas to shape conversations and goals. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new ways of coping. Sessions often include clear, manageable strategies to reduce worry and build confidence.

She also addresses relationship and family concerns, including communication problems, family of origin issues, and intimacy-related struggles. When life changes arrive - like grief, fertility issues, or midlife shifts - she helps people sort priorities and decide what matters most.

Deanna uses several therapeutic approaches to fit different needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused methods. She tailors the plan to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all model.

People who come to her can expect a collaborative process that balances practical tools with time to reflect. To begin, clients follow the site's Start Therapy steps and schedule a first session based on the matching questionnaire results.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and discover their own solutions during conversations that emphasize respect and empathy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and name emotions in relationships and personal life. It can be useful for anyone dealing with intimacy issues, grief, or patterns that affect how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one path up front.

For practical matters, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these methods to support change in ways that fit everyday life.
