About Marilyn
Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience based in Oklahoma. She has provided direct mental health care across school, inpatient, and private practice settings. Her work covers concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, parenting strain, bipolar-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
She has substantial experience with teens in special education and has worked with people across the lifespan in community settings. Much of her early work involved Individualized Education Plan (IEP) students in public high schools, and she has carried that experience into private practice and clinical research contexts.
Marilyn prefers a team-based way of working. She collaborates with each person to set clear goals and build a treatment plan. Sessions focus on practical skills, problem solving, and learning tools that make daily life feel more manageable.
Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. These approaches are used to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, improve coping after trauma, and build better communication patterns.
She also has experience with caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, blended family concerns, body image struggles, and issues that arise from family of origin dynamics. People who are navigating the transition to adulthood or early career stress may find her approach relevant and straightforward.
How her therapeutic approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action that fits those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice their present-moment experience and respond with less reactivity, which can ease stress and emotional overwhelm.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Marilyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without travel, and options that do not require being on camera when that helps someone participate more comfortably.
