Marilyn Turneur

Marilyn Turneur is a licensed independent social worker with 12 years of experience helping people through major life challenges. She supports those dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and trauma. Marilyn also helps with relationship struggles, parenting strain, self-esteem concerns, anger, career transitions, intimacy issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep people stuck. Marilyn uses clear language and offers tools that can be used between sessions.

Her work blends client-centered listening with structured methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused work are also part of her approach when they fit a person's needs. The goal is to build skills and to support real changes in day-to-day life.

Marilyn draws on over a decade of practice in Ohio and holds the LISW credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker. She emphasizes collaboration, so clients help shape the pace and focus of therapy.

Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. Marilyn aims to help people find steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy in Marilyn's practice means gently addressing past hurt and its effects on daily life. This approach focuses on helping people process distressing experiences and build coping skills so those memories have less hold over current decisions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect. Sessions are guided by the person's priorities and pace, with the therapist offering support, reflection, and validation rather than directing the conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes straightforward exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving that reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused, client-centered, and CBT techniques for effective online sessions that focus on practical steps and steady progress.
