Margaret Yurkunas

Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, and challenges related to intellectual disability. She focuses on improving self-esteem, coping with life changes, and easing caregiver stress. Margaret aims to create a calm, understanding space where people can name their struggles and find practical ways forward.

She uses a client-centered way of working that puts the person's experience first. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports each person in finding their own solutions. She also uses hypnotherapy as a tool when it fits the client's goals and comfort level.

Margaret draws on five years of professional counseling experience as an LPC in Michigan. She offers steady guidance for issues like grief, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, family problems, and burnout from caregiving or compassion fatigue. Her focus includes abandonment and attachment concerns, communication problems, and the stress that comes with divorce or separation.

Sessions aim to build clearer self-direction and stronger everyday coping. Clients often work toward better self-awareness, more reliable decision-making, and increased self-reliance. Margaret emphasizes practical steps you can use between meetings to make steady progress.

To begin, she asks people to consider what matters most to them and to bring those goals to the first conversations. Her style is warm, plainspoken, and steady, with a focus on helping people find what helps them live with more clarity and confidence.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Margaret uses client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on your experience. That approach means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps you clarify what matters most. It is useful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She also offers hypnotherapy as a complementary tool when appropriate. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with symptoms like anxiety, stress, or troubling habits. It is used alongside conversation and goal-setting rather than as a standalone cure.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Margaret works together with each person to decide whether client-centered work, hypnotherapy, or a mix fits best. She bases that choice on your needs, goals, and comfort level so you can try options and adjust them as you go.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a meeting during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. The site’s booking flow asks you to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that works with the therapist’s availability. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered for your care.
