Margaret Yurkunas, LPC

Margaret Yurkunas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people move through trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and the stresses of daily life. She works with individuals and families, including those who are managing special needs, and provides support for concerns such as intimacy, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and a range of relationship difficulties.

Margaret practices Client-Centered Therapy, approaching each person with genuine empathy and congruence and offering nonjudgmental understanding. She emphasizes unconditional positive regard while guiding clients through self-discovery so they can find their own answers and build greater self-reliance. In addition to this humanistic foundation, she integrates hypnotherapy where appropriate to support behavioral change and symptom relief. Typical goals in her work include increased self-awareness, clearer personal direction, stronger self-esteem, and improved confidence in daily decision-making. Margaret invites prospective clients to explore their goals and to consider a collaborative path toward meaningful change.

Client-Centered Care and Hypnotherapy Delivered Online

Margaret offers Client-Centered Therapy online, which centers on listening with empathy, reflecting the client’s experience, and helping people discover their own solutions. This approach is especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, grief, and navigating life transitions because it focuses on the person rather than on labels or directives.

She also integrates hypnotherapy when appropriate - a guided process that uses focused attention and relaxation to support behavior change, reduce anxiety, and address patterns that contribute to stress or emotional pain. Hypnotherapy can be a useful tool for clients seeking alternatives to traditional talk therapy for certain concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Margaret collaborates with each client to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. Online options make it easier to attend sessions from home, during breaks, or while traveling, helping clients maintain consistency and access support when they need it most.
