Background and approach
She has 15 years of clinical experience and works with a broad range of related issues including attachment difficulties, communication problems, codependency, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural concerns. Her practice also addresses topics such as pregnancy and childbirth, life purpose, and coping with major life changes.
Her style blends client-centered empathy with practical, goal-oriented methods. She emphasizes a collaborative partnership in which the client’s priorities guide the work while she offers supportive challenge to encourage insight and action.

Approaches that guide online care
Dr. Murray commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches to shape online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and test unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to support self-directed growth and stronger self-understanding. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, forward-looking steps and short-term goals to build momentum and tackle immediate challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapts methods so the plan reflects each person’s needs and priorities. That flexibility helps tailor sessions to address present concerns while building skills for the future.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer scheduling flexibility and the ability to match communication style to client comfort. These options make it easier to continue work through busy periods, life transitions, or when in-person visits are impractical, while keeping focus on practical problem solving and measurable progress.
