About Magdelena
Magdelena Unger is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with ten years of practice. She works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. Her stated focus areas also include caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and other relationship and life challenges.
She begins by helping people identify what is happening and why they react as they do. That often starts with focused sessions to map symptoms or consider possible diagnoses. From there she and the client develop a clear, practical plan with step-by-step goals that fit the client's pace.
Magdelena offers individual and couples work that emphasizes goal-oriented treatment and psychoeducation. She also provides short-term crisis care and safety planning after a recent crisis, plus diagnostic sessions when people want a focused assessment. For survivors after a death by suicide she offers a psychological autopsy report.
Sessions involve direct, practical conversation about feelings, patterns, and choices. She aims to make things manageable rather than overwhelming by breaking larger problems into workable steps. Discussions often include communication strategies, boundary-setting, and ways to reduce persistent worries or panic.
Her approach is built around evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical tools. People who want help sorting out codependent behavior, repairing communication, or planning next steps in careers or relationships will find a structured, goal-focused process. To begin, clients follow the site's intake steps and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online work
Many of the techniques Magdelena uses come from well-established, evidence-based approaches. One common method focuses on learning specific skills to manage anxiety and panic, such as breathing and behavioral experiments to test feared outcomes. These techniques help reduce intense symptoms and make daily life feel more manageable.Another frequent focus is on communication skills and boundary-setting. This approach teaches concrete ways to express needs, say no, and handle conflicts without escalating. It can help people who find themselves habitually putting others first or who struggle with jealousy, codependency, or unclear limits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Magdelena collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tests tools in short steps and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful for the client.
The therapist's original profile does not specify session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or removing the need to be in a specific office. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques for remote meetings, and this flexibility often helps people keep consistent progress.
