Marilyn Davis

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Oklahoma with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked directly with children, teens, and adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, ADHD, anger, and intellectual disability. Marilyn brings a steady, team-minded approach to sessions and treats each person with respect and compassion.

She has spent time in public schools supporting teens on Individualized Education Plans and in private practice serving a range of concerns. Her work has also included community-based individual therapy, family sessions, and research involvement in academic and inpatient treatment settings. These varied roles shaped a practical and flexible way of working.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals chosen together. She listens first, then helps people build skills and strategies that fit their daily life. Parents and caregivers can expect straightforward communication and step-by-step planning when needed.

Marilyn uses approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior ideas, and motivational interviewing. She adapts methods to the person rather than following a single formula.

Her priority is to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can practice new ways of coping. If someone wants help reducing anxiety, improving communication, or managing life changes, she aims to walk alongside them as they build strength and resilience.

How Marilyn’s Approaches Can Fit Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk and be heard without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Marilyn will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the goals and daily life. That means checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some clients find video useful for face-to-face conversation while others prefer audio for a quicker check-in or when bandwidth is limited. The therapist will discuss which format matches the client’s needs and routine.
