About Magdelena
Magdelena Unger is a Minnesota LICSW with ten years of practice. She works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and depression, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She begins by helping people notice patterns in how they feel and react. That usually means a few focused conversations to understand what is happening and why. From there she and the client build a clear, practical plan. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage.
Magdelena offers both individual and couples work, and she provides diagnostic-style sessions when someone wants to clarify symptom patterns. She also supports people after a recent crisis with short-term safety planning and crisis care. For those impacted by a suicide loss she can prepare a psychological autopsy report.
Her approach is goal oriented and includes psychoeducation so people understand what they are experiencing. She emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions to test what helps. Conversations are focused on concrete strategies rather than abstract theory.
People looking for help with caregiver stress, communication problems, codependency, or relationship endings will find these topics listed among her areas of attention. She also works with concerns such as panic attacks, paranoia, seasonal affective disorder, money stress, and questions around life purpose and self-love.
Sessions are conducted in English from a Minnesota practice. International clients are not accepted; people should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Magdelena describes her work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a goal-oriented format. One common approach she uses focuses on helping people identify patterns in thoughts and behavior and then test small changes. This kind of work is useful for anxiety, panic, and social fears because it breaks large problems into manageable steps.Another element is psychoeducation and practical planning. That means explaining how typical reactions form and then co-creating a plan with concrete actions to try between sessions. This approach helps people track what works and adjust the plan over time.
Finding the best fit is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to choose which techniques to use based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. That choice can shift as progress is made.
The biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep routine check-ins. Phone calls or shorter sessions can be a practical option when a quieter setting or less screen time helps, and scheduled sessions can often be arranged around work or caregiving demands.
