About Marshella
Marshella Stone Davis is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 24 years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting, anger, career questions, depression, ADHD and related problems. Sessions are presented in English.
She earned a Master of Education from the University of Houston-Victoria and a bachelor's in English and Communication from Angelo State University. Over two decades of practice have included helping adults, parents, and teenagers navigate everyday problems and major life changes. She uses solution-focused, client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to address thinking patterns and behaviors.
In sessions she helps people notice thoughts that get in the way and tries different responses. She offers concrete skills, alternative perspectives, and behavioral strategies to improve functioning. Work may include short-term problem solving or longer work on recurring patterns.
Marshella describes therapy as collaborative. She asks about goals and then helps define steps toward them. Clients are encouraged to practice new skills between sessions and to track progress.
Her background includes school counseling and national certifications held earlier in her career. That experience informs work with family dynamics, parenting concerns, and school-age related stress. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How cognitive and client-centered methods work online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online work using CBT ideas often involves short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions to address anxiety, depression, and stress.Client-centered therapy emphasizes clear listening and practical reflection. The therapist follows the client’s concerns, offers feedback, and helps people clarify goals and next steps, which can fit well into regular remote check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marshella will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. She collaborates with clients to adjust techniques and pacing based on progress and comfort level.
Please confirm current online session options before booking; formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. Ask about session length and technical needs when you schedule to make sure they fit your routine.
