About Marilyn
Marilyn Turneur is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are facing addiction, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting stress. She also supports those coping with trauma, ADHD, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions focus on practical changes and clearer choices. She listens to what is happening now and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Treatment often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try different responses.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the person’s own priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques appear when people need tools for emotion regulation and staying present. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is ambivalent about change, especially around addictive behaviors.
Sessions are straightforward and work-focused. Marilyn breaks larger problems into small steps and checks progress each week. She pays attention to practical barriers like sleep, daily routine, and relationships so change fits into real life.
People who reach out are encouraged to describe the problem in plain terms. Marilyn helps set short-term goals and reviews whether strategies are working. If goals or needs shift, she adjusts the plan accordingly.
How Marilyn uses structured approaches in remote sessions
Marilyn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her work. CBT helps people notice automatic thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits. DBT skills offer concrete strategies for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship conflict and impulsive behaviors.She also draws on client-centered techniques to make sure work fits the person's goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative - she will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on progress and preference.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a workday. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and be a good option for a short check-in. Discussing practical scheduling needs during the matching questionnaire helps plan sessions that fit everyday life.
