About Margaret
Margaret Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, eating and self‑esteem concerns. Her approach centers on helping people get unstuck so they can move forward with more confidence and clearer goals.
Margaret's work is practical and direct. She listens for the patterns that keep someone repeating the same choices. Then she helps identify small, doable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person wants next, not on blame. She draws on several approaches, including existential ideas about meaning, cognitive behavioral tools for changing thoughts and habits, and client‑centered listening that keeps the person’s needs central. Those tools are used to address issues like depression, addictions, trauma and sleep problems.
Margaret also helps with career stress, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Many clients seek help for body image, emotional eating, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or lingering shame and guilt. Margaret uses practical steps to break cycles such as emotional eating and self‑sabotage, then supports practice of new habits so changes stick.
She helps people reconnect to purpose when life feels empty. Margaret practices in Missouri as an LPC and conducts sessions in English. She blends compassionate listening with clear, goal‑oriented work.
The aim is steady forward progress rather than quick fixes.

How Margaret's Approaches Work Online
Existential therapy helps people tackle questions about meaning, purpose and choice. It’s useful when someone feels empty, lost, or stuck and wants to reconnect with what matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them and then taking actions that match personal values. It helps with anxiety, avoidance, and getting back to life despite discomfort.Client‑centered therapy centers the person’s experience through empathic listening and nonjudgmental support. It creates space to explore feelings, build self‑compassion, and choose changes at a sustainable pace. Margaret will work together with each person to figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits best based on goals and preferences, not a one‑size‑fits‑all plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text‑based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face to face when they want direct interaction. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a camera feels too much. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check‑ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, or health demands rather than requiring a fixed commute.
