Deanna Murray, LMFT

Deanna Murray is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and confidence concerns. Deanna also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Her sessions focus on practical conversation and goal-focused steps. She uses empathic listening and clear, straightforward questions to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations look at how past family dynamics and current relationship habits affect everyday choices.

Deanna draws on client-centered methods to make the client’s priorities the main guide. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to work with attachment and closeness issues. Parts of narrative and existential approaches help people reframe life meaning and values when facing major changes.

In sessions she helps people set concrete, manageable goals, practice new ways of responding, and name the small wins that follow. She addresses concerns like codependency, abandonment, guilt, and shame by linking them to real behaviors and choices. Her style is direct and practical, with attention to feelings and to what can be tried between sessions.

People who seek her out often want clearer boundaries, steadier mood, and more confidence in relationships. To begin, the typical step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
