About Margaret
Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people facing a wide range of life and work stresses. She helps with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, career issues, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating concerns, and family-related problems.
With five years of experience, she centers sessions on the person sitting in front of her. She follows Client-Centered Therapy principles, listening closely and responding with empathy to help people name what matters most to them. She also uses hypnotherapy as part of her approach when it fits a client’s goals.
Margaret emphasizes a straightforward, human approach. She aims to help people increase self-awareness, build clearer direction, and strengthen self-reliance. Sessions focus on practical steps and reflective conversation so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.
She brings particular attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and challenges related to autism and intellectual disability. Margaret also supports people dealing with infidelity, divorce or separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

How client-centered work and hypnotherapy look online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building understanding through active listening and empathy. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental presence, reflects what she hears, and helps the client clarify goals and next steps. This approach often helps people who feel stuck, burned out, or unsure about career and life choices.Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help access thoughts and feelings more directly. It can be used to address anxiety, stress responses, and habits that interfere with daily functioning when a client and therapist agree it may help.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide whether client-centered work, hypnotherapy, or a combination feels best. Plans can be adjusted as progress and goals evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins between busy days, and reduce travel time so sessions fit into a workday more smoothly. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals.
