Dr. Shawyna Murray , LMFT

Dr. Shawyna Murray is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. She has 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She often supports women facing workplace challenges, relationship shifts, and questions about life purpose.

Her sessions begin with listening. She asks about what matters most and what feels difficult right now. From there she and the client set clear, manageable goals and choose practical steps to try between sessions.

Shawyna uses straightforward tools to build self-esteem and strengthen communication. She helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck and experiment with new ways of responding. When grief, trauma, or caregiver strain show up, she works at a pace the client can tolerate.

She draws on approaches like client-centered work and solution-focused techniques to keep therapy grounded and useful. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also shape her process when someone needs help finding direction or rewriting painful stories about themselves.

Outside the session she encourages simple habits that support mental health. She frames progress as steady, practical steps rather than sudden fixes. People who want compassionate, goal-minded support during life transitions often find this style helpful.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own perspective and strengths. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead to help them feel understood and supported. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and working through life changes.

Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps that lead to measurable change. Sessions often identify what is already working and then expand those strengths into new routines. It suits people who want goal-directed help for stress, communication, or workplace concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then recommend methods to try. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is best when visual cues and deeper conversation matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life.
