About Me
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile!
My name is Marie Murphy, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Tennessee. Many of my clients have struggled with depression, anxiety, family and parenting difficulties, self-esteem issues, sexual problems, anger management, PTSD, trauma, and abuse recovery. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling.
I am a compassionate person who uses a person-centered, solution-focused approach to helping others. I strive to help people learn to help themselves through empowerment, increased awareness of their strengths, and confidence/skill-building to face the often difficult changes they want to make in order to lead a more contented life. Using a direct, client-focused style in counseling, I utilize components of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), interpersonal, and solution-focused brief therapies quite often, but tailor each approach to the specific needs of each client.
It takes courage to make changes. If you are ready to take that first step in leading a happier life, please consider me as your helper in sorting out the emotional difficulties, developing positive strategies to cope, and overcome the obstacles you've been facing. I am here to support you on your journey.
I look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marie Murphy. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Very insightful questions.
She has been all I could ask for! I was a little nervous about using this website for a counseling service, but she has made it so delightful, and I genuinely enjoy talking to her and getting her helpful feedback. 5 out of 5
Marie is a wonderful and caring counselor. She gives knowledge based advice on how to handle situations. It is far more beneficial than just talking to a friend.
Marie is a god-send. Her insight, empathy, and professionalism brought me through a dark and confusing time. I could not have asked for a better therapist. Thank you, Marie, from the bottom of my heart.
I'm very fortunate to have matched with Marie. She is an incredibly warm and compassionate presence who provides a much-needed and thoughtful perspective to all of the issues we've explored.
Marie is a wonderful counselor. Her replies are always very thought out, and she asked insightful questions to really get me to think about what I'm going though. She replies in a timely manner, and really is very good at communicating with you. I am very thankful that I got her as my counselor.
Marie was an excellent counselor who provided what felt like non-judgmental and very open space to express and work through my issues. She approached me at my level and didn't just dictate. Just a few days of speaking to her was so helpful. She seemed so genuinely interested in me and helping me.
Marie is a good listener and while some of the suggestions have been hard for me to follow through I do appreciate her voice in my journey.
Marie is a nice person to talk with where I can express my feeling to her and barely feels awkward.
Marie has helped me find my way out of a very unpleasant situation involving sexual performance anxiety bordering with erectile dysfunction. Just a few weeks in I could feel the improvement as her guidance helped me keep focused and relaxed. I'd definitely recommend Marie to anyone suffering from similar symptoms.
Marie is brilliant at wat she does. She is a good counselor by all accounts and is great at giving advice.
I have gotten to feel a lot better through talking with Marie. She has been friendly and open and has been great at helping me to look at things from other perspectives.
Marie is very understanding and helps bring things to light that you may not have known were the real cause of your distress.
Marie related to me right away and made me feel comfortable to say anything to her. I never felt judgement. She always asked questions that made me think. I really enjoyed writing to her and reading her responses to me.
Marie is an incredible listener with a plethora of helpful tools and resources. I couldn't have made it through the summer without her.
Marie is lovely and caring, great experience.
Very personable, tends to be quick with replies and offers valid useful information. I am happy with the work we are doing together.
In life battles sometimes you become weak and you need a shoulder to help you escape and regroup, and Marie was my shoulder.
She provided the route to escape a battle that I was struggling with and the guidance to develop a plan of attack. She helped me recognize new approaches and courage to validate what I had already done.
