About Donald
Donald McMurray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience based in Texas. He focuses on practical help for people dealing with addictions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He aims to create an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment and take the first steps toward change.
McMurray centers sessions on the person in front of him, using Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to each individual’s experience. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build clearer coping skills. These approaches are used together to make conversations feel grounded and useful.
He commonly supports people working through commitment issues, communication problems, and forgiveness. He also addresses impulse-related concerns such as drug and alcohol addiction, sex and process addictions, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Mood-related concerns like depression and other mood disorders are included in his practice.
Practical life strains are part of his focus too, including money and financial stress, finding life purpose, and men’s issues. Sessions tend to look at what’s getting in the way now and what small steps could make daily life easier.

How Client-Centered and CBT Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist reflects what the client says and follows their lead, helping people feel heard and respected. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It teaches practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. CBT can help with mood concerns, compulsive behaviors, and managing cravings or impulses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust as sessions progress so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences.
The original biography did not name specific remote session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for regular check-ins during transitions. Some people find brief check-ins useful between longer sessions, while others prefer a full weekly appointment. A licensed professional will help decide what schedule and approach match practical constraints and therapeutic goals.
