About Marilyn
Marilyn Turneur is a licensed independent social worker with 12 years of experience helping people facing addiction, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She practices in Ohio and offers a calm, nonjudgmental approach that aims to make it easier to talk about hard things. Her work often focuses on coping with life changes, grief, trauma, and burnout from caregiving or demanding jobs.
Marilyn keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Techniques often come from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support real behavior change.
Clients coming for addiction concerns can expect help with motivation, relapse prevention, and building routines that reduce risk. For relationship or intimacy issues she helps people identify patterns, communicate more clearly, and rebuild trust in daily interactions. Parenting conversations focus on stress management, boundaries, and practical strategies that fit family life.
Trauma-informed methods are used when needed, always paced to the individual. Marilyn also integrates dialectical behavior elements when emotion regulation and strong reactions are a concern. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to each person’s values and goals.
If you decide to begin, Marilyn guides the first steps and helps plan what to do between sessions. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on helping people develop skills they can use long term.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and motivates them to explore changes that matter in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress with step-by-step strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships trigger repeated conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marilyn works with clients to identify goals, tries techniques that match those goals, and adjusts the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process is part of early sessions rather than a one-time decision.
Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use the approaches above in remote sessions while focusing on practical skills and day-to-day changes.
