Marilyn provides a safe and welcoming atmosphere for our video sessions. She recalls information from past sessions and helps link them together with current sessions to help me with perceptions and insights to my feelings. Marilyn helps me develop mindfulness and management strategies to help me work through living with grief. I appreciate her prayers and biblical references, which is why I chose a Christian counselor.

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor based in the Tulsa, OK area. My experience comes from providing direct mental health services to children, teenagers, and adults with a variety of presenting issues including anxiety, stress, autism, intellectual disability, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anger.
I approach the therapeutic relationship with a team approach and have deep respect for individual differences. Much of my clinical experience includes working with teens served on Individualized Education Plans (IEP) in Special Education in a public high school, and working with both teens, children and adults in a private practice setting.
My experience is varied across these settings as I have provided individual and family therapy with children, teens, and adults in the community; have conducted research in both academic settings and inpatient treatment centers. Regardless of the setting, I believe that we all thrive and grow in an environment where we are heard and provided with compassion and respect. And, I proactively seek to apply this by providing a safe and respectful space to empower my clients to find their best life.
My therapeutic approach draws influence from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Therapy, Social Learning Theory, and Motivational Interviewing. My style is a team-based approach as I seek to work together with my client to select treatment goals and develop a treatment plan that is specific to the individual. Regardless of whether your goals are as varied as a reduction in anxiety level is to increased social interaction, my priority is to join you and to walk beside you as you develop strength and resiliency on your journey to a more fulfilling future.
Taking the first step in seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. So, congratulations on stepping out toward your goal of a brighter future. Thank you for reading my profile and when you are ready to take another step, I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Marilyn is a fantastic therapist! She listens very closely and remembers key information that guides and informs the therapy process.

Marilyn helped me wade through my issues with anger. She listens well, responds to my questions, and gave clear help. I am grateful for her dedication and faith.
Marilyn is extremely knowledgeable on trauma and its effects on the brain and behaviors. Because of her knowledge, she has been able to help me acknowledge what my responses are to my triggers and offered ways to calm myself so that i do not stay trapped in my trauma responses. I really enjoy having her as a therapist and am very optimistic on the future that we will work through.
Marilyn is a kind and caring lady. She listens and makes helpful suggestions and asks clarifying questions, when necessary, to understand so she can better help. I highly recommend Marilyn.

Marilyn Davis did a wonderful job helping me bridge out of a time of personal crisis and help me recognize feelings within myself. I now feel better equipped with tools for navigating my emotions and physical/mental states, as well as recognizing patterns of negative self talk and finding better ways to treat and think about myself. I highly recommend Marilyn as a therapist, she was also very understanding with my ADHD needs and helped me navigate through and out of emotional dysregulation.
Very sweet and nurturing. She really tries to relate to her client and be mindful of their individual situations.
Don't know what to say, except she is good. Listens and is supportive and empathetic, without ever telling me what to do!
Marilyn is a pro at navigating the unexpected. For me, She has created a solid foundation for boundaries and emotional navigation to stand on. I feel confident in my conversations outside of therapy, because of our preparation with logical thinking and deep constructive work. She is blessed with a gift!
I have searched high and low for a therapist like Marilyn. She is insightful, kind, and listens.
My first two sessions have been wonderful. Marilyn is kind and easy to talk to. She really listens and is great at adjusting even if I am all over the place with what I’m saying. Really happy with my experience so far.
Your the best!! Very helpful with tips and recommendations! Reaching out to me at a time that you didn’t even know I needed you! So appreciate it!
