About Marshella
Marshella Stone Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Texas with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues including codependency. She works with adults and parents who are trying to stop putting others first and regain control of their lives.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused work, and mindfulness. Sessions are practical. She challenges unhelpful thoughts, offers alternative perspectives, and teaches specific skills people can use between meetings. The aim is clearer thinking and more effective daily choices.
Marshella trained at the University of Houston-Victoria where she earned a Master of Education. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in English and Communication. Her background includes many years helping people with parenting, relationship strains, substance concerns, and workplace stress.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. Clients set goals and she helps map steps toward those goals. Conversations focus on concrete strategies - setting boundaries, managing urges, changing routines, and handling strong emotions.
People who come for help with people-pleasing, blurred boundaries, or living around someone else’s drinking will find straightforward, skills-based work. She encourages regular practice of tools learned in session to see changes in daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting, and adjusting pace to what feels most useful. This approach helps people explore values, set limits, and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practice assignments to change patterns that keep someone stuck. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and habits tied to codependent behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention practices. It helps reduce reactivity and build tolerance for strong emotions, which supports setting boundaries and responding rather than reacting.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what works. Clients help decide which tools to keep and which to change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - it can allow shorter check-ins, save travel time, and let people join sessions from a quieter space. Those practical benefits help people practice new skills in their everyday routines without promising any particular outcome.
