Marilyn Davis

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 19 years of experience. She has worked directly with children, teenagers, and adults on challenges like anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anger. Her background includes school-based services, private practice, and clinical settings.

Marilyn uses a team-based approach in sessions and treats each person as an individual. She aims to create a respectful environment where people can be heard and build coping skills. Parents will find straightforward support for parenting strain, grief, and family-related concerns.

Her work in public schools included supporting teens on Individualized Education Plans in Special Education. She has also provided therapy in community and inpatient settings and contributed to research in academic contexts. That range informs how she adapts strategies for different ages and needs.

In therapy Marilyn draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She and the client set goals together and develop a plan focused on practical steps toward those goals.

Sessions focus on helping people reduce anxiety, manage anger, improve communication, and cope with major life changes. Marilyn emphasizes building resilience and practical skills that fit day-to-day life. She offers a collaborative space for people who want support as they work toward a more fulfilling future.

How her approaches translate to online work

Marilyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment and can help with stress, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marilyn works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needs and priorities change.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then talk through what did and didn’t help during sessions.
