Angela Murphy, LCSW - Therapist in Texas

About Angela

Angela Murphy is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around relationships and intimacy. She also supports clients facing grief, career transitions, and changes in life direction.

Angela speaks English and practices as an LCSW. Her approach begins with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be practical and grounded, with clear steps you can try between meetings. She uses straightforward tools to help with motivation, confidence, and everyday coping. Angela draws on several evidence-based methods to guide work together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking that fuels anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small changes that make a big difference. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and working at your pace.

In sessions she focuses on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, divorce or separation concerns, sexual dysfunction, and obsessive thoughts or behaviors. She also helps people explore life purpose, midlife transitions, and issues common for young adults. Her style balances practical skill-building with supportive listening.

Therapy sessions are offered online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. The process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions that fit each person’s needs. This structure supports steady progress while keeping things flexible.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects concerns back, and helps people feel understood so they can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going. It is useful for stress, worry, and depressive patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, targeted changes that quickly improve daily functioning. It emphasizes concrete steps and what’s already working in someone’s life.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit each person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. These formats let people meet from home, fit sessions around work or family, and try different ways of checking in between live conversations. The range of options supports steady work on symptoms, communication, and life changes while keeping scheduling practical and adaptable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
