Marilyn Davis , LPC

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of clinical experience based in Oklahoma. She offers a respectful, team-oriented approach and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, parenting concerns, and related struggles. Marilyn keeps language plain and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her background includes work in public schools supporting teens on Individualized Education Plans and in private practice with adults and young people. She has also contributed to research in academic and inpatient settings. Those varied roles shaped her ability to adapt her methods to different needs and life stages.

In sessions she partners with each person to set clear goals and build a plan that fits day-to-day life. She uses approaches that emphasize present-moment skills, values-based action, and problem-solving to reduce symptoms and increase functioning. Expect a collaborative, steady presence rather than a prescriptive or one-size-fits-all plan.

Marilyn works with a wide range of concerns beyond core issues like grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, blended family challenges, and communication problems. Her aim is to help clients gain tools and confidence for real situations.

She conducts sessions in English and provides online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Marilyn encourages people to take small steps toward change and supports them as they build resilience and clearer direction.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation when life feels stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress by offering clear tools to practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. This approach pairs well with ACT and CBT when learning breathing, grounding, and attention skills helps reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, daily demands, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan so techniques feel useful and realistic for the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats add flexibility and help people fit therapy into real life.
