Therapy for When Anxiety, OCD, or Trauma Is Running Your Life
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.
Areas of Specialization
OCD Therapy
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) grounded in Inhibitory Learning theory for OCD, intrusive thoughts, religious and moral scrupulosity, and taboo thought presentations.
Anxiety & Panic
CBT and ACT for generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, and chronic worry, focused on the mechanism that sustains anxiety, not just symptom reduction.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure for trauma presentations. Treatment is matched to how the trauma is functioning in your life now, not applied by default.
BFRB Treatment
Habit Reversal Training and the ComB model for skin picking, hair pulling, nail biting, cheek biting, and related body-focused repetitive behaviors.
Related Conditions
OCD, anxiety, trauma, and body-focused repetitive behaviors often occur alongside other concerns. Treatment planning accounts for clinically relevant co-occurring conditions rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
Depression
Substance use concerns
Tic disorders
ADHD, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and other conditions that may affect treatment
Built for the Work, Not the Volume
There is not one right time to seek therapy. Some people reach out early. Others come after managing things on their own for years, or after earlier work that helped in some ways and left other things unresolved. Wherever you are starting from, treatment here is built to leave you with a clear understanding of what is maintaining the problem, why a specific approach is recommended, and how we will both know whether it is working.
Caseload is kept intentionally small. Sessions are active, goal-directed, and grounded in the evidence-based approach appropriate to the specific presentation. The work is tracked against clinical targets, not run open-endedly.
What to Expect From Therapy
Consultation Call
A free 15-minute call. You ask what you want to know about the approach, share what you are dealing with, and get a direct answer on whether this practice is a good fit before committing to anything.
Intake and Assessment
The first two sessions build a thorough clinical picture of what is happening, what is maintaining it, and what has and has not worked before. From that, we develop a clear treatment plan.
Structured Treatment
Active, goal-directed treatment using the evidence-based model appropriate for your presentation. Progress is tracked against specific clinical targets throughout.

Start With a Brief Consultation
You do not need to know which treatment fits before reaching out. The consultation is a focused fit call to clarify what is happening, whether this practice is appropriate, and what the next step should be. Want to know exactly what the call covers? See Preparing for Your Consultation.
