Marshella Stone Davis, LPC

Marshella Stone Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience. She focuses on practical, goal-oriented work that helps people move past stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and life transitions. She aims to create a respectful, honest space where clients feel heard and can try new ways of coping.

She uses client-centered principles to keep conversations focused on each person's values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-focused strategies are used to build small, manageable steps toward change.

Her background includes a Master of Education from the University of Houston-Victoria and a bachelor’s degree in English and Communication from Angelo State University. Over two decades in Texas practice have included work with adults, parents, and teens on everyday challenges and life changes.

In sessions she presents different perspectives and practical skills rather than only talking about problems. Clients get tools to manage emotions, improve communication, and handle setbacks more effectively. The emphasis is on what works in daily life.

She encourages clients to define clear goals and to own their progress. The therapist views clients as the experts in their lives and supports them in developing routines and skills that fit their needs and circumstances.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach supports work on relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes in behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and some addictive behaviors because it breaks problems into clear patterns that can be changed step by step.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and reactions to different methods and adjust the plan as needed. Clients take an active role in choosing skills and homework that fit their life.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation and worksheets to practice skills between visits, helping changes carry into everyday routines.
