About Marilyn
Marilyn Davis is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 19 years of clinical experience. She has provided direct mental health services across school, inpatient, and private practice settings. Her work has included anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
She has spent many years working with teens on Individualized Education Plans in special education at the high school level. Her background also includes work with children and adults in community settings and private practice. That variety shaped a practical approach to common problems such as family conflict, communication problems, and coping with life changes.
Marilyn uses a team-based style in sessions. She asks clients what matters to them and helps set clear goals. Sessions often include techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to address anxious thoughts and overwhelming feelings.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when helping people sort values, make decisions, and build daily coping skills. The work tends to be straightforward - naming patterns, practicing new responses, and checking progress.
Marilyn has experience across research, school, and clinical environments. She often helps people who are dealing with forgiveness, family of origin issues, chronic illness or caregiving stress, and problems with mood regulation. If guilt or shame are part of what someone is carrying, she can be a clinician who will talk through how those feelings affect thinking and behavior.
How Marilyn Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Marilyn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing, which can help with anxiety, stress, and anger.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to small actions that match those values. That approach can be useful when someone is stuck feeling guilty or ashamed and wants to move toward meaningful steps. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative; she works with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences and adjusts as needed.
