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.

Marilyn is wonderful! I feel so seen and understood by her. I never feel like I have to over explain myself. She grasps what I am trying to say immediately and guides me to understand and manage my emotions. She is fantastic at managing a session and keeping me on track and always makes sure we accomplished my goal for each session. She is always on time, communicates clearly, and never judges. I am so grateful to have found her. I will continue seeing her long term.

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.

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.
