Marshella Stone Davis, LPC

Marshella Stone Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, goal-minded work. She draws on two decades of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addictions, and changes related to aging and caregiving. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She aims to create a respectful, positive setting where people feel heard and can practice new skills.

She uses client-centered listening to understand each person's goals first. Then she blends solution-focused techniques and elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions are framed around clear, achievable steps so progress is visible and usable in daily life.

Marshella has worked with adults, parents, and teens on issues such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, and substance problems. She also supports people navigating life changes, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and intimacy or communication problems. Aging and geriatric issues are included among her additional focus areas when relevant to a person's goals.

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. She emphasizes strengths people already have and helps them build practical skills to improve functioning.

In sessions she listens, offers perspective, and suggests small experiments clients can use between meetings. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and she helps shape a plan to reach them.

How her approaches can work online

Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on the person's own priorities and feelings. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people decide what goals matter most. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries simple experiments to change responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related habits.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps toward clear goals. Rather than spending many sessions on the past, it helps people try concrete strategies and notice what works. This can make progress easier to see and build momentum during treatment.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on what the person needs and prefers. Goals and pacing are set together so the work fits into the client's life.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current options before booking to learn whether online or in-person meetings are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when those are helpful.
