About Margaret
Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, and ADHD. She speaks English and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful experiences and find clearer direction. Her approach is grounded in client-centered care.
Margaret meets each person where they are, listens closely, and follows the client’s lead to help them uncover their own answers.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building self-awareness, raising self-esteem, and increasing confidence to make changes that matter. Margaret also uses hypnotherapy as one of her methods when it fits a person's needs. She explains techniques plainly, checks that they feel comfortable, and adapts the pace to what each person prefers.
Hypnotherapy is presented as an option rather than a requirement. With five years of experience as an LPC, she blends a humanistic attitude with practical support. She helps people manage stress, cope with grief, navigate parenting and career shifts, and address intimacy or communication problems.
The emphasis is on small, doable steps that add up over time. People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their calendar. Margaret offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to meet clients where they already are.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and helping people notice their own strengths so they can make choices that feel right. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and building self-esteem.Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help a person access changes in thought patterns or habits. It can be useful for stress management, coping with grief, and addressing certain behavioral concerns when a person prefers a more experiential method.
Margaret approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try different ways of working, and adjust based on how comfortable and effective the methods feel. Finding the right fit is part of the work together rather than a preset decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging fit quick check-ins or times when a person prefers not to be on camera. These options let people fit sessions into work breaks, parenting schedules, or changing routines.
