Margaret Yurkunas, LPC

Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing jealousy and related relationship concerns. She also addresses anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, stress, parenting strain, career transitions, and trauma and abuse. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people talk through painful moments and find clearer ways forward.

Margaret uses a client-centered style in sessions. That means she listens without judgment and follows each person's pace. She aims to create a space where people can discover their own answers and build stronger self-direction.

She also incorporates hypnotherapy when it fits a person's goals. In that work she helps clients focus attention and access calmer responses to stress or unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy is offered as one part of a plan rather than a standalone promise of results.

Margaret brings five years of clinical experience as an LPC. She draws on her background supporting people through trauma, intimacy issues, and caregiving stress. Sessions tend to focus on practical changes, clearer communication, and building coping skills for everyday challenges.

People who come to her can expect gentle, direct conversations about what is getting in the way of their goals. She supports work on attachment and abandonment wounds, family conflict, codependency, and common concerns such as eating issues, ADHD, and feelings of isolation. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented.

How client-centered work and hypnotherapy fit online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's goals, helping people build self-awareness and clearer direction through steady, supportive conversation. It is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and stress related to life changes.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people shift automatic reactions and rehearse new responses. This can be helpful for anxiety, unhelpful habits, and strong emotional reactions tied to trauma or jealousy.

Finding the right approach is typically collaborative. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those needs. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what is working.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before you book. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around a work break, or choosing phone over video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and hypnotherapy techniques for remote work to focus on practical steps and emotional regulation without requiring in-person visits.
