About Donald
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and Texas with 11 years of experience, Donald McMurray focuses on addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He works directly with people who are facing mood struggles, impulses or substance issues, and problems tied to money, sex, or obsessive behaviors. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Donald uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). He listens for what matters most to each person and helps them test practical ways to handle difficult thoughts and habits. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to everyday choices and patterns that keep problems going.
In early meetings he helps people define what they want to change. That could mean setting limits around gambling or porn, reducing drug or alcohol use, improving communication, or working on mood and motivation. He helps people notice triggers, try new responses, and track what works.
Sessions address issues such as commitment problems, jealousy, forgiveness, impulsivity, and life purpose. He also works on financial stress and men’s issues when those are part of someone’s struggle. Treatment draws on client-centered listening alongside CBT techniques for thought and behavior change.
People can expect plain language and step-by-step suggestions rather than technical jargon. The process emphasizes practical changes in daily life, with regular review of progress and adjustments to methods as needed.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify feelings, and supports decisions the person wants to make. It is useful when someone needs space to sort out values, relationship choices, or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is often used for mood problems, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and substance-related patterns.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. This gives room to combine client-centered listening with CBT exercises when that fits the person's aims.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so they work across different setups, and sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
