About Deanna

LMFT in Texas with 13 years of experience, Deanna Murray helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She works with adults facing grief, trauma, addiction, intimacy problems, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Approaches used in online sessions and practical notes

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It involves reflective listening and working from the client’s own goals to guide sessions, which can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes brief exercises between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns in relationships and how emotions shape interactions. It can be useful for people working through intimacy issues, trust, and recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, then adapt based on what helps.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep momentum while they try new ways of thinking and relating.
