More about Carla
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LPC, LPC-MHSP
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with over 12 years in experience. I specialize in helping clients to overcome daily life concerns, including physical, mental, and emotional abuse, anxiety, anger, depression, coping with grief, family issues, conflict resolution, midlife changes/crisis, low self esteem, and self care, so that they can once again live purposeful and joy-filled lives. Having overcome life-altering losses or stressors of my own, I have given the tools to help others do the same.
My approach to counseling is meeting the client where he/she is, being open, honest and compassion.I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Brief Focused Solution Therapy, and Mindfulness/Meditation. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Carla Murray is amazing. It usually takes me some time to open up but she has a great personality, she listens and she provides additional resources on the portal.
Listens, has great techniques for coping with anxiety, very helpful.
Carla is very knowledgeable and intuitive. She has great experience, so she does well with filtering through conversation, determining the issues, and guiding me through them. She also checks in if she knows I might have a challenging week. And she checks to see if I have ways to work through things, and find positive outlets, and encourages me to follow up with her.
Everyone needs a Carla! Her warmth, kindness, understanding and ability to meet you where you are make her a valuable guide in therapy. It would be an understatement to simply say she has helped me….

I have not been in therapy long, and there is still a great deal to unpack and work on. However, I feel that Carla Murray hears me, and doesn’t bring any preconceptions to our sessions. I feel like she is helping me.
Carla is great at getting me to talk about things and look at things from alternative perspectives without even realizing it. It's perfect. I've taken a break from therapy and come back with open arms.
