Marilyn Davis, LPC

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 19 years of clinical experience. She has provided direct mental health services across school, community, and private practice settings. Her background includes work with children, teenagers, and adults facing anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anger.

Marilyn combines a team-based stance with respect for each person’s differences. She often draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to shape practical goals. Mindfulness and acceptance-based practices appear alongside motivational interviewing in her work.

Much of her early experience came from supporting teens on Individualized Education Plans in a public high school. She has also provided individual and family therapy in community settings and a private practice. Research roles in academic and inpatient treatment centers added to her clinical perspective.

In sessions she focuses on listening, collaboration, and building small, usable skills. She helps people talk through stress, manage intrusive thoughts, and develop routines that fit daily life. Thoughts and everyday habits are an area she commonly addresses as part of that process.

Marilyn prioritizes compassion and respect when people are making changes. She works with clients to set clear goals and practical steps toward them. When someone is ready to move forward, she provides steady support as they build strength and resilience.

How these approaches fit with online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking steps that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress, and difficulties that come from getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are so they can set their own goals and grow at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques so sessions feel practical and personally relevant.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, having shorter check-ins, or avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice new routines between sessions and bring examples from daily life into conversation. Licensed professionals can use different tools and pacing to match a person’s rhythm and goals.
