Marilyn Davis , LPC

Marilyn Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor and supervisor based in the Tulsa, OK area. With 19 years of experience, she has provided direct mental health services to children, teenagers, and adults facing concerns such as anxiety, stress, autism, intellectual disability, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anger. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that authorizes clinical work with individuals and families.

Her clinical background spans public special education settings and private practice. Much of her work has involved supporting teens served on Individualized Education Plans in a public high school, alongside individual and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults in community settings. She has also participated in research within academic environments and inpatient treatment centers, which has informed her practical approach to care.

Marilyn favors a team-based therapeutic relationship that respects individual differences and emphasizes compassion. Her practice draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, trauma-focused work, social learning ideas, and motivational interviewing. She partners with clients to identify meaningful goals and to create individualized treatment plans, whether the focus is reducing anxiety or increasing social interaction. Marilyn aims to provide a respectful space that supports growth, resilience, and a more fulfilling future, and she offers guidance to those ready to take the next step toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Marilyn Davis

Marilyn Davis integrates client-centered therapy into her practice, which centers on building a trusting relationship and responding to each person with empathy and respect. This approach helps when individuals need a collaborative space to explore values, identity, and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another key method she uses. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness therapy is woven into sessions to help people develop present-moment awareness and skills for managing stress and emotional reactivity. Mindfulness techniques can support those dealing with chronic stress, trauma-related symptoms, and difficulties with focus or mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marilyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and make it easier to fit care into daily life. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support across different settings, helping clients maintain momentum between face-to-face sessions and access help when schedules or mobility make in-person appointments difficult.
