Margaret Yurkunas, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Margaret

Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people facing family and parenting stresses, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. She uses a warm, direct style and aims to help clients feel heard and more capable. Sessions focus on practical steps for coping, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence.

Her approach is personable and focused on the issues people bring to the room. With five years of counseling experience, she draws from Client-Centered Therapy and hypnotherapy to shape her sessions.

Background and approach

Client-Centered Therapy is used to create space for people to speak openly and to help them find their own solutions. Hypnotherapy is available as a tool for addressing anxiety, stress, and patterns that feel stuck. Margaret works to translate therapeutic ideas into everyday actions parents and family members can use.

She pays attention to attachment concerns, intimacy-related problems, and issues such as abandonment, codependency, and communication breakdowns. Other areas she supports include compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Margaret also addresses topics like eating concerns, shame, and forgiveness when those come up in sessions.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental tone and straightforward guidance aimed at increasing self-awareness and self-direction. Work in therapy may include talking through family dynamics, practicing clearer communication, and setting practical goals. Margaret aims to help people gain clarity and build steady habits that support healthier family interactions.

This practice offers sessions in English and operates from Michigan. The LPC credential indicates she holds a licensed professional counselor credential in the state.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist listens with empathy; this helps when someone needs to untangle family tensions or process grief. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful habits, or access different ways of coping with stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits day-to-day life and family demands.

Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be used when video is not convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging work for short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help parents and family members fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress and usable skills.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
