About Marilyn
Marilyn Davis is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience. She has provided direct mental health services across schools, inpatient settings, and private practice, helping people who face anxiety, stress, ADHD, depression, anger, trauma and related concerns. She lists family matters and family of origin issues among her areas of focus.
She has worked extensively with teens on Individualized Education Plans in special education, and with children and adults in community and clinic settings. That experience includes individual sessions and therapy involving family members when appropriate. Her background also includes research work in academic and inpatient treatment environments.
Marilyn favors a team-based way of working. She collaborates with each person to pick goals and build a straightforward treatment plan. Sessions are practical and action-oriented, with attention to thoughts, behavior, and coping skills.
Her practice draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment concepts, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to address issues such as grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and problems with communication and control.
People who often choose her work are those noticing patterns that stem from their family of origin, or adults managing stress, relationship tensions, mood differences, or life transitions. Marilyn aims to help people build clearer strategies, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen daily routines that support functioning.
How Marilyn uses evidence-based methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit values. It can help people who feel stuck by teaching ways to act toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning includes trying techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify which remote formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or in person. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and phone sessions can be a quicker way to check in when bandwidth is limited. Sessions conducted remotely still focus on practical skill-building, coping tools, and clear goal steps to carry into everyday life.
