Marshella Stone Davis , LPC

Marshella Stone Davis brings 24 years of professional counseling experience to individuals, couples, families, teens, parents, and adults navigating life transitions and mental health challenges. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and holds additional national certifications including National Certified Counselor (NCC) and National Certified School Counselor (NCSC). She also holds an LPC-S designation and a Master of Education from the University of Houston-Victoria, along with a bachelor’s degree in English and Communication from Angelo State University.

Her practice emphasizes a warm, respectful, and encouraging atmosphere where clients are treated as the experts on their own lives. She uses client-centered principles to build a collaborative relationship, solution-focused strategies to set practical goals, and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These approaches are applied to a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career difficulties, and ADHD, among others.

Marshella supports clients by offering different perspectives, behavioral tools, and skills to improve functioning and resilience. She believes people possess the internal resources to grow and that therapy is a place to develop skills, be heard, and move toward the life they want. She works collaboratively to define goals and supports clients as they take the courageous first steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspective guide the work - it is especially helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and strengthening confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical, skills-based techniques, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying concrete goals and small, achievable steps toward change, which can be effective for navigating life transitions and resolving immediate problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marshella Stone Davis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options, adjust strategies as progress is made, and focus on approaches that feel most useful to the client.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily responsibilities, and they allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals from their chosen location.
