Marilyn Davis, LPC

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked directly with children, teenagers, and adults on concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anger. Marilyn emphasizes respectful, team-based care and aims to help people move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Her background includes time in public high school special education supporting teens on Individualized Education Plans and work in private practice with a range of ages. She has provided individual and family therapy in community settings and conducted research in academic and inpatient treatment centers. This variety has shaped a flexible, practical approach to care.

In sessions she focuses on listening first and building goals together. She uses strategies from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people reduce anxiety, cope with life changes, and strengthen coping skills. Her style is collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive.

Marilyn often helps clients who are navigating grief, parenting stress, chronic health issues, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses concerns such as bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, body-image struggles, and blended family challenges. The work typically centers on concrete skills, clearer communication, and small behavior changes.

She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready. Marilyn aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can build resilience and move toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

Approach-focused online care and practical skills

Marilyn draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then act according to their values to move forward. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marilyn works together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She adapts techniques over time so the plan reflects what is actually helping the client make small, steady changes.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering care. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins on a hectic day, or reduce the need to travel. Many people find remote sessions helpful for practicing skills in daily life and for keeping consistency when life gets busy.
