Murphy Hall

Murphy Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience who offers affirming care for adults facing relationship strain, identity questions, trauma, and major life changes. She emphasizes respect and curiosity and aims to help people who are worried about anxiety, depression, stress, or the fallout of separation and divorce. Murphy presents as queer and names that identity as part of how she connects with LGBTQIA+ clients. Murphy works in a trauma-informed way and focuses on emotion regulation and healing after painful experiences. She uses practical skills from approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and change patterns that cause distress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness strategies to help people clarify values and take steps that match what matters to them. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are meant to feel like problem-solving with a trusted partner rather than a lecture. Murphy meets people where they are and adapts techniques to fit their goals and readiness for change. She helps with relationship concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, commitment issues, and jealousy. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, abandonment wounds, and the complexities of kink and alternative sex culture. Murphy practices in Indiana and holds LMSW and LCSW credentials. She conducts work in English and does not accept international clients.

How specific approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with life changes, relationship decisions, and moving through the aftermath of separation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new, practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is often used for stress, worry, and mood concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Murphy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and comfort with different techniques. That might mean mixing ACT and CBT skills, or focusing more on emotion regulation steps from DBT when intense feelings get in the way of daily life. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use different tools like guided mindfulness exercises or worksheets between meetings to reinforce progress.
