About Marshella
Marshella Stone Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, relationships, or major life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns.
Her approach centers on the person in the room. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and understand each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Solution-focused strategies help set clear steps and measure progress. Marshella keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She works with adults, parents, and couples to talk through issues like communication, commitment, and codependency.
She also helps with self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to life transitions. Over two decades of practice in Texas give her experience with a wide range of concerns. That background includes support for LGBT issues, eating and body image concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use problems.
In sessions she offers concrete skills, perspective shifts, and small experiments clients can try between meetings. The work aims to clarify goals, cut through confusion, and build steady, manageable change. Clients are treated as partners in setting priorities and tracking progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience first and focuses on listening and understanding. In online sessions this means the therapist asks about your goals and adapts conversations to what matters most to you, which helps when working through relationship or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and homework that people can use between video or phone sessions to track progress on anxiety, depression, or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your goals, needs, and personal preferences. That process includes trying techniques and checking what helps most over time.
Online formats offer real practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client use face-to-face interaction when more connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing through feelings helps organize thoughts. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy lives rather than requiring long commutes.
