About Margaret

Margaret Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Functional Medicine Health Coach, and a Certified Life Coach who combines evidence-based methods to help clients move past mental roadblocks and reclaim momentum in their lives. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep challenges, parenting strains, anger, career questions, and other life transitions. Her approach centers on identifying patterns that keep people stuck and guiding them through a practical process of change.

Margaret emphasizes how unprocessed emotions and subconscious patterns shape daily thoughts and behaviors - a concept she frames as a dominant influence on actions. She offers support in transforming fear into courage, chronic discomfort into greater well-being, and confusion into clarity by helping clients safely process emotions that have become lodged beneath conscious awareness. Specific specialties include emotional eating and compulsive eating patterns, chronic illness and pain, stress and anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and post-traumatic stress.

She teaches habit change through a structured four-step process, addresses self-doubt and imposter feelings, and helps clients uncover root causes rather than relying solely on willpower. Margaret’s core values include compassion, open-mindedness, belief in growth and possibility, and respect for human experience. She looks forward to talking with you.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Margaret often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports moving toward values-driven action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and the client-therapist relationship, providing a supportive space for exploring emotions and building self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Margaret works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds and helping clients test what works best for them.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide regular support, skill-building, and emotional processing in ways that can be more convenient and accessible for many people.
