Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy

Marilyn Turneur integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support online care. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a space where a person's values and goals guide the work and where growth emerges from understanding and validation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for managing strong emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marilyn works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions and techniques so progress feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Marilyn offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or to continue support from home. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible care while adapting communication styles to what works best for each person.
