About Deanna
Deanna Murray is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She writes short, direct plans with each person so conversations are focused and useful from the start. She aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in every session.
With 13 years of clinical experience, Deanna adapts her approach to fit each person's situation. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns in relationships and to help people feel more connected.
Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to combine supportive listening with practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Deanna often works with people dealing with life transitions, coping challenges, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She also addresses trauma, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice pays attention to family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and struggles like guilt, shame, and isolation. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress. Conversations include exploring feelings, identifying patterns, and trying manageable changes between sessions.
Deanna helps people name what matters most and create steps that fit their daily life. She practices in Texas and offers therapy in English. People who prefer online options can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support
How emotional work and practical methods translate online
Deanna often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and express core emotions that influence how they connect with others. EFT looks at patterns of emotional bonding and helps people shift toward calmer, more supported ways of relating. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes respectful listening and following each person's pace so they feel heard and understood.The right approach is usually a mix rather than a single method. Deanna works with clients to decide what feels most useful based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face interaction and reading nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick updates or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while maintaining consistent momentum.
