About Marilyn
Marilyn Turneur is a licensed independent social worker with 12 years of experience helping people through hard life moments. She supports those dealing with addiction, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress. Her work also addresses burnout, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, career shifts, and intimacy concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations start with the concerns that brought someone in. Then she and the person set small, practical goals.
Background and approach
Strategies are tailored to daily life, not just ideas on a page. Her style is collaborative and warm. She uses client-centered listening to help people feel heard.
She blends that with cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When needed, she uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to manage strong emotions and mindfulness to ground difficult moments. Marilyn draws on motivational interviewing when clients face change, such as stopping substance use or building new routines.
She helps people find their own reasons to move forward, rather than pushing one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions focus on realistic steps people can try between meetings. Based in Ohio, she offers care for adults navigating life transitions and parenting challenges.
Her practice aims to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills that fit each person’s life. The approach is steady, practical, and respectful of individual backgrounds.

Approaches for online parenting and life challenges
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps parents and adults feel understood and decide which changes matter most in their lives.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day parenting stress because it creates step-by-step actions to try between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those tools can help when feelings become intense or when old patterns keep getting in the way of relationships and self-care.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels workable. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video calls let you use visual cues during conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between contacts. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady while juggling parenting, work, and life.
