About Marshella

Marshella Stone Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, relationships, anxiety, codependency, addictions, grief, and life transitions. She uses a practical, respectful approach that centers the client and looks for workable steps forward.

She earned a Master of Education from the University of Houston-Victoria and a bachelor’s degree in English and Communication from Angelo State University. Over two decades of practice have included work with teens, parents, and adults on everyday struggles and larger life changes. Marshella emphasizes straightforward, solution-focused work paired with client-centered attention.

In sessions she brings cognitive-behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build skills and find clear next steps. The goal is to help people see different perspectives and practice new behaviors that improve daily functioning.

Marshella aims to create a genuine, respectful, and positive space where clients can feel heard. She encourages people to identify practical goals and build the skills needed to reach them. She views clients as the experts in their own lives and offers guidance and coaching to support growth.

How these therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your goals. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you identify next steps and priorities. This approach can help when people need acceptance and a steady place to talk through hard choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means adjustments can be made as you learn what helps.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since formats are set by the therapist and the site. Online therapy can fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to add short check-ins between appointments. It can also let people choose quieter times or lower-bandwidth options when needed. Speak with the therapist after matching to learn which session options are offered and how they can fit into your routine.
