I have been really impressed with Felix Murad. My previous therapist was not really deploying a methodology that worked for me — ie he would just let me talk and say that things sounded hard. I feel like everything Felix does is informed by a solid therapeutic practice/plan, and that he challenges me, sets homework, makes me think — I am finding this much more useful in terms of making progress. Felix is informed, knowledgeable, friendly, and really seems to dig into individual cases carefully.

Hello, and welcome to my page. My name is Felix, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, an LMHC in Washington, ann CMHC (NH) and a National Certified Counselor.
I consider myself a multicultural counselor with an eclectic approach when helping clients overcome barriers to their overall wellness. While I adopt an eclectic counseling approach, I view the clients I work with through a humanistic philosophy. This means I believe each person is the expert of their own lives, and I am here to guide you through overcoming barriers that hinder you from living a life full of vitality and flourishing.
The modalities I use, depending on the client, include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, D.B.T. Skills Training, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, Expressive Creative Arts, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative therapy. My approach is tailored to my client's specific needs and is always collaborative, ensuring that my clients have a say in how best to assist them.
I offer individual and couples counseling to address various mental health and relationship concerns. My experience includes helping individuals overcome issues such as Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Major Depression, Adjustment, Stress, Anger Issues, Substance abuse addictions, Process addictions, Domestic Violence, LGBTQ concerns, Career Exploration, Coping with chronic illness, Bullying, Self-esteem, Specific phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Trauma, and increasing overall wellness.
In addition, I have experience working with couples to navigate relationship concerns, including pre-marital counseling, divorce, adjustment, and communication issues. With my background and expertise, I am confident that I can help you start living life to your fullest potential!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Felix is a great professional. He really tries to understand you and ask questions you either thought of or never thought about. Super nice, friendly, and easy to talk to.
I really like Felix! I’ve had therapists in the past but none were Felix! I always bragged about him to my friends and how much he helped me! I came along a way from a year ago to the person I am now! He is inspirational and admirable and funny and straight forward. Which I like! Not every therapist is for everyone but if you like someone blunt you’ll like Felix. I looked forward to every session I had with him!
Felix is a good dude. He really helps me make sense of my thoughts. I can't thank him enough.
Felix is a wonderful listener and is very compassionate. He has taught me a lot and I'm grateful for the time I've spent with him. He's helped me grow and recover from past traumas that I wasn't sure would ever get better. I still have more to learn and do, but I feel more confident and positive now that I've been working with him.
