About Deanna
Deanna Murray is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Her listing also notes experience with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy concerns, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Deanna uses a conversational approach in sessions. She listens to what matters to the client and adapts the dialogue to their situation. Sessions focus on concrete steps - talking through what happened, identifying patterns, and trying small changes to reduce daily strain.
Her work draws on several clinical approaches. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client's experience central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. Emotionally-Focused Therapy addresses how feelings shape relationships and closeness.
Deanna also uses elements of Existential and Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of meaning, choices, and life stories. Together these methods aim to clarify values, rebuild trust with oneself, and reduce ongoing self-blame or shame.
Practical matters are part of the process. Payment varies with location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Deanna uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's experience and priorities. That approach is useful for people who need someone to listen closely and reflect back what they are carrying. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and actions that keep a problem going, and it is helpful when someone wants practical tools to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adjust methods together. That collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions focus more on emotions, thought patterns, or life story work.
