    About Marilyn

    Marilyn Turneur is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. She draws on 12 years of work with adults who are trying to rebuild after loss, trauma, or major life change. Her language is straightforward and caring, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.

    Marilyn keeps sessions grounded and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. She uses Motivational Interviewing to strengthen motivation for change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness strategies and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are added when emotional regulation or intense stress gets in the way.

    Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Marilyn aims to help clients break down big problems into small, doable steps. She also supports people working through grief, intimacy challenges, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related concerns.

    Her style blends direct feedback with empathy. People can expect workable tools, gentle accountability, and time to reflect on progress. Marilyn explains therapeutic ideas in everyday words so families and busy people can use them in real life.

    Marilyn's Ohio license is listed as LISW. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. She conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients.

  2. How her approaches work online and in session

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation for challenges like addiction or behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect while the person defines goals and pace; it helps when someone needs acceptance and space to talk through their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

    Choosing which approach to use is a team effort. Marilyn works with each person to see what fits their goals, challenges, and daily life. She may blend techniques over time and adjusts plans based on what helps the client make steady progress.

    If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people to practice skills in the settings where problems happen and bring real situations into conversation with the therapist.
