Marilyn Turneur, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Marilyn

Marilyn Turneur is a licensed independent social worker who supports people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She guides those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and struggles with self-esteem or anger. Marilyn draws on 12 years of clinical experience to offer steady, practical help.

She works with compassion and plain language so parents and individuals can understand next steps. In sessions Marilyn focuses on what is happening now and what the client wants to change.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward methods like cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, motivational interviewing to tap into personal goals, and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when people need help regulating intense feelings and improving coping strategies. Marilyn explains options clearly and builds a plan together with each person.

She checks in about progress and adjusts tools when something isn’t working. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. She holds the credential LISW, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker, and practices in Ohio.

Sessions are conducted in English and offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. If someone is ready to begin, Marilyn recommends completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. The process aims to make starting therapy simple and practical.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s goals and values. It involves active listening and working at the client’s pace, which helps when people need a nonjudgmental space to talk through parenting, relationship, or life stressors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors tied to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stress with practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn will discuss options and help choose methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration allows adjustments over time so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and allow people to connect from home or another convenient place. They make it easier to fit sessions around parenting duties, work, or other responsibilities while still accessing licensed professionals and evidence-based techniques.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
