About Marilyn
Marilyn Davis is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 19 years of experience. She has worked with children, teenagers, and adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anger.
Her background includes work in public school special education supporting teens on Individualized Education Plans and practice in private clinical settings. She has offered individual therapy and family therapy in community settings and has done research in academic and inpatient treatment centers.
Marilyn favors a team-based working style. She helps clients set clear goals and build step-by-step plans to change thoughts and habits that get in the way. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills - noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning coping strategies, and practicing new responses. She also addresses school-related supports and caregiver stress when those issues come up. Her work includes attention to grief, parenting concerns, bipolar mood management, and compassion fatigue.
Clients can expect direct, goal-focused conversations and options for techniques to try between sessions. She aims to help people build more predictable ways of responding to stress and to increase functioning in daily life.
To begin, she asks clients to identify specific goals so sessions can focus on measurable steps forward.
How Marilyn uses structured approaches in online work
Marilyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical behavior changes. CBT breaks problems into actionable steps and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and accept difficult emotions while taking steps that matter to them. Client-Centered Therapy is used to focus conversations on the client’s experience and priorities, with the therapist supporting the client’s own problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn discusses options with each person and selects strategies based on their goals, preferences, and daily demands. That collaborative choice helps shape what will be practiced between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into workdays, reduce travel time, and make it easier to follow up on skills between meetings. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and avoiding video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to these practical constraints.
