Murphy Hall, LMSW, LCSW

Murphy Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and issues related to LGBT identity. Murphy helps people cope with life changes and practical problems that affect daily functioning and relationships.

She often supports people dealing with abandonment, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the fallout of infidelity or divorce. She also addresses concerns tied to gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, guilt and shame, jealousy, and midlife transitions. Murphy identifies as queer and includes that lived perspective in her approach when relevant.

Her practice draws on a mix of evidence-based methods. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness techniques. She adapts methods to match a person’s goals, readiness, and strengths rather than following a single protocol.

Sessions are described in plain terms: setting clear goals, practicing skills for emotion regulation and communication, and working through trauma and identity questions at a manageable pace. The focus is practical - reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.

Murphy’s background includes work with trauma and people managing personality-related difficulties. Her clinical style emphasizes respect, curiosity, and a collaborative relationship aimed at helping people make meaningful changes.
