About Marshella

Marshella Stone Davis is an LPC with 24 years of counseling experience who uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people move toward practical change.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins by listening closely to each person's goals and concerns, then introducing perspectives and skills to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Her style emphasizes respect, positivity, and genuine engagement while helping clients develop tools to improve daily functioning.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and depression, along with many related areas such as communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and eating concerns.

Marshella integrates solution-focused techniques and mindfulness where helpful to support coping and problem-solving while honoring the client’s expertise in their own life. Based in Texas, she draws on two decades of professional experience to guide individuals, couples, and families toward achievable goals.

Marshella aims to create a respectful and positive therapeutic environment where clients can learn skills, feel heard, and work toward the life they want to build.

Practical Approaches for Online Change

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic connection where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people feel heard and empowers them to define goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and exercises, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can support emotional regulation and coping with difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt techniques from these approaches to create a personalized plan. That collaborative exploration helps ensure the methods used match what the client finds most helpful and realistic.

Online sessions offer flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to stay connected from different locations within Texas. These formats can support consistent work on skills, timely problem-solving, and ongoing communication while preserving scheduling flexibility and accessibility for many clients.
