About Margaret
Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, and challenges with self-esteem. She has a background supporting those coping with eating issues, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her work also touches on attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and family-related problems.
She practices from a client-centered point of view, meeting people where they are and listening first. Sessions focus on understanding the person’s experience, building self-awareness, and discovering practical next steps that fit real life. Her goal is to help clients find clearer direction and increased self-reliance.
Margaret brings five years of counseling experience to her practice and holds the LPC credential. In session she emphasizes empathy, genuineness, and nonjudgmental support. That approach aims to create space for honest reflection and gradual change.
She also uses hypnotherapy as an additional tool when appropriate, describing it as a way to access different states of attention that can support behavior change or reduce distress. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about options and what each method involves.
People who choose her work with practical goals in mind, such as improving communication, coping with life changes, addressing trauma-related reactions, or rebuilding self-esteem. Prospective clients in Michigan who read her profile are encouraged to check session options before booking.
How client-centered methods and hypnotherapy work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and treating each person with respect and understanding. It helps people clarify their feelings, increase self-awareness, and make choices that match their values.Hypnotherapy involves guiding attention and relaxation to support shifts in thinking and behavior. It can be used alongside conversation-based work for issues like anxiety, habit change, or boosting confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out whether client-centered sessions, hypnotherapy, or a mix best fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions are made together and can change over time as progress is made.
