About Marshella

Marshella Stone Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and major life changes. She offers direct, down-to-earth care that focuses on practical skills and steady progress. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and on solutions that fit everyday life.

She uses client-centered principles to listen and respond to each person’s unique needs. Marshella combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on solution-focused and mindfulness approaches to build concrete coping skills and calmer responses in stressful moments.

Marshella has worked across many concerns including addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career challenges, and parenting stress. She also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, caregiver strain, and recovery from domestic violence and substance use. Her practice includes support for people in LGBT communities and those dealing with compassion fatigue or ADHD-related struggles.

Her style is practical and encouraging. Marshella offers perspective, teaches skills, and helps people set clear goals they can reach. Sessions aim to strengthen coping, reduce reactivity, and improve communication where relationships are strained.

She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling based on therapist availability.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Marshella uses client-centered work that focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. This approach helps people feel heard and guides goal setting for areas like relationships, self-esteem, and anger management.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. CBT offers clear steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and anger concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marshella collaborates with each person to test techniques, track what helps, and refine the plan based on goals and preferences. She aims to create practical steps clients can use between sessions.

Session options are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online or in-person formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offer alternatives when video is not ideal. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so clients can build skills that apply to daily life.
