About Margaret
Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, and stress. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting struggles, career changes, ADHD, and family problems. Her approach aims to help people feel clearer about themselves and more confident in daily life.
Margaret focuses on listening first. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to offer empathy and respect while people talk through what matters to them.
Background and approach
She spends sessions asking about goals and what feels hard now, then follows the person’s lead while gently guiding toward insight. She also uses hypnotherapy as a tool to access thoughts and feelings that can be hard to reach through talk alone. That method is presented as an option and used alongside conversation-based work when it fits a person’s goals.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Margaret draws on five years of professional experience as an LPC. She aims for practical outcomes such as clearer thinking, stronger self-direction, and improved self-esteem.
Her style is straightforward, warm, and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on helping clients find their own solutions. People who choose her can expect gentle guidance, active listening, and a focus on everyday changes that make life easier. She works in English and practices from Michigan.

How Margaret’s Approaches Work Online
Margaret uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize listening and empathy. In practice that means sessions focus on what matters to the person, with the therapist reflecting back feelings and helping clarify goals. This approach can help with low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes.She also offers hypnotherapy as an option to reach thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to name in regular talk. Hypnotherapy is presented as a guided technique some people find useful for anxiety, stress, trauma-related symptoms, and habits they want to change. It is used alongside conversation-based work when it fits the person's goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Margaret will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on client-centered conversation, try hypnotherapy, or mix methods to meet those goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
