About Magdelena
Magdelena Unger is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with 10 years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck by identifying patterns behind their reactions and emotions. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable step by step.
She works with adults and couples to clarify what is happening and why it matters. After that, she and the client create a clear plan with achievable steps. Sessions include goal-oriented work and psychoeducation to help people understand their symptoms and responses.
Magdelena offers focused diagnostic sessions to map symptom patterns and consider potential diagnoses when that is helpful. She also provides short-term crisis care with safety planning after recent crises. For those facing loss, she prepares psychological autopsy reports for survivors after a death by suicide when requested.
Her range of concerns includes stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career challenges, and depression. She also supports clients dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, emptiness, and money worries. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the issues she addresses.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Magdelena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns and building clear plans. One common approach she uses involves symptom mapping and psychoeducation, which helps people understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and what practical changes can reduce distress. This approach can be useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood concerns.Another element of her work is goal-oriented treatment that sets specific, measurable steps. This helps when someone wants concrete progress on issues like career stress, communication problems, or managing panic attacks by practicing skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity of care after a crisis and can support consistent practice of skills between meetings.
