About Marilyn
Marilyn Turneur, LISW, helps people manage anger and other intense emotions while they deal with life changes. She supports those facing addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She creates a calm, respectful space where a person’s experience is heard. Sessions are collaborative - the client sets goals and Marilyn helps map the steps to reach them.
Background and approach
She pays attention to cultural background and individual values when making a plan. Marilyn uses several evidence-informed approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices help people notice reactions without getting swept up in them. Motivational interviewing supports clients who are unsure about change, especially around addictive behaviors.
The client-centered stance keeps conversations focused on each person’s priorities and strengths. Together these methods help people reduce reactivity, rebuild trust in relationships, and manage everyday stressors. Marilyn has twelve years of clinical experience and holds an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker.
She offers multiple ways to connect, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to set up an initial schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s own priorities and strengths. In practice this means sessions follow what the client finds most relevant, with the therapist reflecting concerns and supporting choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marilyn will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skills, DBT emotion-regulation tools, mindfulness exercises, and motivational interviewing depending on what helps most for the issue at hand.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is inconvenient. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and let people fit care into busy schedules while using approaches that address anger, addiction recovery, and everyday stress.
