About Marilyn

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 19 years of clinical experience. She has provided direct mental health services across schools, private practice, and community settings. Her work has included anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, anger, parenting concerns, grief, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and family issues including blended family concerns.

She has substantial experience with teens served by Individualized Education Plans in special education and with children and adults in private practice. That background includes individual and family work in community settings, plus research roles in academic and inpatient treatment centers. Her work often involves practical problem solving around school and daily routines.

Marilyn favors a team-based style. She collaborates with each person to set treatment goals and to build a realistic plan. Sessions typically focus on skills that reduce anxiety, improve communication, and manage strong emotions such as anger or grief.

Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of responding to stress.

People who contact her can expect straightforward conversations about current problems and concrete steps forward. She draws on years of varied work with schools and clinical settings to help people manage life changes, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and the practical challenges of blended households.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, behaviors, and mood, and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. That lets the person test methods like CBT skills or mindfulness exercises and keep what works.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in real-life moments and bring real scheduling constraints into the sessions for practical problem solving.
