About Margaret
Margaret Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people move past things that keep them stuck. She focuses on practical change and emotional healing in straightforward, compassionate sessions. Her work often centers on habits, eating struggles, stress, and rebuilding self-trust.
Clients meet a therapist who listens first and then helps identify what is getting in the way. Sessions are focused on understanding the emotions and patterns that drive behavior.
Background and approach
Margaret uses a mix of approaches to tailor support to each person’s goals. She commonly addresses anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Other areas she supports include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and self-esteem, codependency, and life transitions.
She also works with issues such as anger, sleep problems, career strain, and feelings of emptiness. Margaret draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy to guide her work. In sessions she helps people notice emotional patterns, try new responses, and build more helpful daily habits.
People who reach out often want a direct, respectful guide who will challenge unhelpful patterns while offering warmth and patience. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Margaret practices in Missouri as an LPC and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape relationships and self-experience. It helps people notice patterns of attachment and respond with more helpful emotional choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping people commit to values-based actions, which can reduce avoidance and build meaningful routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective and pace, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support so clients can explore goals and make change.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework guidance, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into a busy life.
