About Magdelena
Magdelena Unger is a Minnesota LICSW with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and couples on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and depression. Her practice includes focused diagnostic sessions, individual and couples therapy, crisis care, and psychological autopsy services.
She begins by helping people name what is happening and understand the reasons behind their reactions. That understanding guides a clear, practical plan aimed at manageable steps. Sessions emphasize concrete goals and useful information rather than vague promises.
Magdelena offers diagnostic sessions to look at symptom patterns and possible diagnoses. Individual and couples sessions are goal-oriented and include psychoeducation and practical strategies. Crisis care is available for short-term support and safety planning after a recent event.
The profile also lists psychological autopsy work for survivors after a death by suicide, which is a comprehensive reporting service. She addresses common life disruptions - caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Other concerns Magdelena notes include forgiveness, jealousy, money and financial stress, panic and paranoia, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and life purpose questions. Her approach is described as evidence-based techniques combined with straightforward planning to help people move forward.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in her practice include goal-oriented problem solving and psychoeducation. Goal-oriented problem solving breaks down large issues into concrete steps and targets practical change for concerns like career uncertainty, relationship communication, or managing anxiety. Psychoeducation gives clear information about symptoms and patterns so people can better understand their reactions and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to see which techniques fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting methods over time, and combining approaches when useful rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also reduce the need to be on camera or use less bandwidth, which can suit different practical needs. Discussing these options during the initial matching and scheduling step will clarify which session styles are available and appropriate.
