About Marilyn

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience based in Oklahoma.

Background and approach

She has worked across school, independent practice, community, academic, and inpatient treatment settings, providing direct care to children, teenagers, and adults for concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and anger. Her background includes significant work with teens in special education and students supported by Individualized Education Plans (IEP).

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and respect for individual differences, using a team-based approach to set goals and shape treatment plans alongside each client. Marilyn blends evidence-informed methods including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to match interventions to each person’s needs.

She has also been involved in research and in delivering family and individual therapy across diverse populations and presenting issues. Marilyn aims to create a compassionate, respectful atmosphere where clients feel heard and empowered to build resilience.

She frames therapy as a shared process focused on practical change, whether the aim is reducing anxiety, improving relationships, managing mood changes, or navigating life transitions.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and coping skills development. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation and resilience.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Marilyn collaborates with clients to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting techniques over time so the plan stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to promote flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to engage from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care across life changes while working with licensed professionals who use structured, evidence-informed methods.
