About Margaret
Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical support for stress, self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, and life changes. Her style is direct and warm, aimed at helping people feel clearer about next steps.
Margaret uses a client-centered approach that puts the person’s experience first. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.
Background and approach
That approach is useful for issues tied to attachment, abandonment, communication, and intimacy difficulties. She also works with hypnotherapy as a complementary method to access relaxation and focused attention. This can support work on habits, stress responses, and some trauma-related symptoms when the client and therapist agree it might help.
Sessions include conversation and practical exercises tailored to each person’s needs. Margaret has five years of documented experience as an LPC. She draws on that background to guide clients through burnout, compassion fatigue, career questions, and challenges tied to caregiving or neurodiversity concerns.
Her practice aims to increase self-awareness and improve everyday coping. People who reach out can expect a straightforward, empathetic clinician who prioritizes collaboration. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on small, achievable changes that fit into daily life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Margaret uses client-centered therapy and hypnotherapy as part of her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them discover their own solutions; it is often used for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to explore patterns of thought and behavior, which can help with stress, habits, and certain trauma-related responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Margaret works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to what the person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, written options that can fit into busy schedules or provide ongoing check-ins between longer sessions.
