Margaret Yurkunas

Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people navigating relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and the stress that comes with big life changes. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem. Her work also addresses family problems, communication struggles, and issues related to divorce and separation.

She favors a warm, person-focused approach. Sessions emphasize genuine listening, empathy, and helping clients name their goals. Margaret aims to help people become clearer about what they want and to build confidence in moving toward those goals.

Margaret uses Client-Centered Therapy in most work. That means she follows each person's lead, offers acceptance, and helps them find their own answers. She also integrates hypnotherapy when it fits a client's needs and preferences.

With five years of documented experience, Margaret draws on a practical, human approach rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. She works step by step, helping clients notice what changes are possible and what small actions might move them forward.

Her style is straightforward and calm. People who prefer a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation about difficult topics may find her approach helpful. To begin, readers are encouraged to review session options and scheduling before booking.

How Margaret’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. In practice that means the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and support while the person sets the pace and goals. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries, and coping with life changes.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people connect with thoughts and feelings in new ways. It can be used alongside conversation-based work to address habits, stress responses, and painful memories when a client is interested in that option.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Margaret will collaborate with each person to decide whether Client-Centered Therapy, hypnotherapy, or a combination fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts methods as clients try things and give feedback.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling and session rhythm would work best for daily routines.
