About Donald

Donald McMurray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. He practices in Texas and helps people facing addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. He aims to make the first step toward change easier and less lonely.

He creates an open space where clients can name thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical conversation and real problems. He listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of change.

Donald uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own goals and experience. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, testable changes. These methods are used to address mood changes, compulsive behavior, and struggles with motivation.

In sessions he works with people to set clear, achievable steps. That may mean trying new ways to cope or practicing different ways of talking in relationships. Progress is reviewed and adjusted so the plan stays useful.

He supports people through addiction-related issues including drug and alcohol problems and process addictions like gambling or pornography. He also helps with money and work stress, impulsivity, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. If you want to start a conversation, the profile explains how to begin.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to help them feel understood and decide what changes matter most. This approach can be useful for building trust and clarifying values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries out practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or compulsive urges. CBT is often used for mood concerns and addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan over time.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for a quicker check-in when needed. Therapists can adapt exercises and between-session tasks to remote delivery to keep progress moving forward.
