About Margaret

Margaret Yurkunas is an LPC based in Michigan who supports people working through trauma and abuse, intimacy challenges, issues with self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating difficulties, parenting struggles, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, family conflicts, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, and jealousy. She frames therapy around a humanistic, client-centered stance, meeting clients with empathy, genuineness, and nonjudgmental regard.

That approach emphasizes collaborative exploration so clients can increase self-awareness, strengthen self-direction, and build clearer personal values and goals. She also uses hypnotherapy when appropriate to support deeper relaxation and access to internal resources.

Margaret brings five years of professional practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor and offers sessions in English. She provides multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Margaret uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's perspectives and goals guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, genuineness, and acceptance so individuals can explore feelings, increase self-awareness, and make choices that align with their values. Hypnotherapy is another tool she offers; it involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help access internal resources and support shifts in habits, stress responses, or emotional patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined together. She works with clients to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjusts strategies over time based on progress and preference. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in how therapy unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and select the interaction style that feels most supportive for each client.
