Jeannette Murphy, LMFT, LCSW
Practical, steady support for anxiety and life change
About Jeannette
Jeannette Murphy offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. She writes and talks plainly, helping clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.
Background and approach
Jeannette is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and also holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. With 40 years of experience in Indiana, she focuses on building clearer communication, stronger self-regard, and healthier patterns with others.
Sessions tend to be warm and nonjudgmental, with emphasis on small, usable changes clients can try between meetings. She also helps people address social anxiety and phobia in everyday settings.
Her work often includes looking at intimacy-related concerns and the ways life transitions affect identity and relationships. Jeannette guides people to reconnect with values and life purpose while teaching practical skills for daily stress.
She frames progress as steady steps rather than immediate fixes. Many clients find she balances empathy with straightforward guidance.
Conversations can cover coping strategies for anxiety, ways to grieve losses, and clearer ways to talk about needs and boundaries. The focus is on what someone can do now to feel less overwhelmed.
Her practice aims to help people build emotional resilience and greater self-love over time. Therapy is collaborative - clients and Jeannette decide goals together and track progress as they go.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Jeannette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes improving communication skills - learning specific ways to express needs, set boundaries, and resolve recurring conflicts so daily interactions feel clearer and less stressful. Another approach centers on coping strategies for anxiety and stress - teaching simple breathing, grounding, and thought-management tools to reduce panic and increase calm in everyday situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeannette collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques if something isn’t helping. That teamwork helps clients try strategies and decide what fits their life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break in the day, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options let people arrange care around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping progress steady.
