About Marilyn

Marilyn Turneur is a licensed social worker with 12 years of clinical experience who supports people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She practices from Ohio and focuses on helping clients rebuild self-esteem, manage stress, and navigate grief, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her work also addresses anger, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

Her style emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person’s background and story. Marilyn blends client-centered principles with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to individual needs.

She creates an affirming environment intended to help clients explore strengths, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and build practical skills for daily life. Clients seeking to address addictive patterns, repair relationship wounds, or strengthen coping resources will find an approach that values partnership and steady progress.

Marilyn holds the LISW credential and works with clients in Ohio, offering varied session formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marilyn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore their values and personal goals. When emotional regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns, techniques from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can provide concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all. Marilyn works with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and consistent access to a licensed professional who can guide coping, recovery, and growth.
