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.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marilyn Davis. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
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!

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.
