Marshella Stone Davis , LPC

Marshella Stone Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, body image concerns, and questions around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She brings practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Marshella often combines solution-focused strategies with mindfulness skills. That means short-term goal setting alongside simple practices to stay present and reduce overwhelm. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and build routines that feel doable.

She has worked for many years in Texas settings with adults and parents navigating parenting, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and career transitions. Her background gives her experience addressing codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the challenges that come with major life events.

Marshella describes therapy as a team process. She centers respect, honesty, and encouragement in sessions. People meet to set clear goals, practice new skills, and track small changes that add up over time. She supports clients as they define the life they want and take steady steps toward it.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach give space to tell your story, name goals, and have those goals guide each meeting. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests new ways of responding. In an online format CBT often uses worksheets, short experiments, and step-by-step plans that clients can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one path up front.

Online therapy here offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break from work. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between meetings. These formats let clients keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and everyday life.
