About Felix Murad, LPC-S
I help adults who are dealing with OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, trauma, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and patterns of shame that may have been hidden for a long time. My style is structured and direct, but still human. I want therapy to feel like you are talking with a real person who understands the pattern and can help you work with it clearly.
Clinical Focus
Murad Counseling is intentionally focused. I primarily work with adults seeking help for OCD, anxiety, panic, trauma, BFRBs, and related patterns of avoidance, reassurance, rumination, shame, and overcontrol. If you want the full service overview, start with the Services page.
Many people come in after therapy that was supportive but did not directly treat the mechanism keeping symptoms in place. That does not mean previous therapy was wrong. It often means the problem needed a more specific clinical target.
Experience and Credentials
I am Felix Murad, M.Ed., LPC-S, LMHC, CMHC, NCC. I bring 10+ years of clinical experience across outpatient care, trauma, anxiety, substance use, medication-assisted treatment settings, employee assistance programs, college student work, first responders, active-duty military, veterans, and specialized OCD and anxiety treatment.
That range of experience helped me narrow the practice rather than broaden it endlessly. The point is not to be everything to everyone. The point is to do focused work with the problems I treat most seriously.
How I Work
My approach is warm, honest, and structured. I will not pretend a treatment fits when it does not. I will not reduce your experience to a script. I also will not let therapy become endless reassurance, repeated analysis, or vague support when a clearer treatment target is needed.
Different concerns call for different approaches. OCD may involve ERP-informed work. Trauma may involve EMDR or other trauma-focused treatment. BFRBs may involve Habit Reversal Training or ComB-informed planning. Those method details belong on the service and treatment pages; the important thing here is that therapy should match the actual pattern.
Who May Be a Good Fit
You may be a good fit if you want therapy that is direct, clinically specific, collaborative, and willing to look at the loop keeping the problem alive. This can be especially helpful if you have spent years trying to outthink anxiety, confess your way out of guilt, reassure yourself into certainty, avoid trauma reminders, or hide a repetitive behavior from everyone around you.
This practice may not be the right fit if you are looking only for unstructured venting, crisis coverage, or therapy that avoids feedback. When a different level of care or different specialty is needed, I will say that directly.
Licensure and Service Area
Murad Counseling PLLC provides telehealth therapy for adults located in Texas, Washington, and New Hampshire, where Felix Murad is licensed, and in Florida through out-of-state telehealth provider registration.
For Texas LPC Associates seeking clinical supervision rather than therapy, I keep that information separate at Supervision Texas.
Costs and Next Step
Fees, private-pay details, and out-of-network information are outlined on the Pricing page. If you are considering therapy, the next step is to request a consultation so we can discuss fit and whether this practice is appropriate for what you need.
