About Magdelena
Magdelena Unger is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings ten years of experience helping adults and couples make sense of difficult feelings and confusing reactions. Magdalena focuses on clear next steps so people can move forward at a pace that feels comfortable.
She begins by listening and asking straightforward questions to understand what is happening now. That might include focused sessions to track symptom patterns or to consider whether a diagnosis fits. From there she and the person set practical goals and a plan that fits their daily life.
Magdalena offers work with individuals and with couples, and builds sessions around goal-oriented treatment and psychoeducation. She also provides short-term crisis care and safety planning when there has been a recent crisis. For people impacted by a suicide loss she can prepare a psychological autopsy report.
Her areas of concern include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, and career matters. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Magdalena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and helps people understand skills they can practice between meetings. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based techniques fit online care
Magdelena draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying symptom patterns and mapping what keeps problems going, which helps guide focused sessions and planning. Another approach centers on skill-building and psychoeducation, teaching concrete tools clients can practice between appointments to manage anxiety, panic, or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Magdalena discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. She helps clients try techniques and decide what feels most helpful rather than prescribing a fixed path up front.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support continuity of care after a crisis or during times of transition. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your needs and daily routine.
