About Magdelena
Magdelena Unger is a Minnesota LICSW with ten years of clinical experience working with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand what's driving their reactions and symptoms. Sessions begin with clear goals and a plan so progress feels manageable.
She helps clients identify patterns and the underlying "why" behind behavior. That work leads into straightforward, goal-focused sessions that combine education about symptoms with concrete skills practice. The emphasis is on steps people can use between appointments as well as in session.
Magdelena offers diagnostic sessions to clarify symptom patterns or to consider possible diagnoses. She also provides individual and couples therapy that centers on goal-oriented work, psychoeducation, and problem solving. Short-term crisis care and safety planning are available after recent traumatic events.
In addition she prepares psychological autopsy reports for people impacted by a death by suicide. Her approach to these reports is structured and fact-focused to support survivors seeking a thorough account. She balances report work with direct clinical care for ongoing concerns.
Starting therapy can feel uncertain. Magdelena invites a collaborative first meeting to assess needs and set priorities. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's online steps to match and schedule a first session so they can discuss fit and next actions.

Evidence-based approaches and how they fit into online care
Magdelena describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. Cognitive approaches concentrate on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of interpreting situations; they are often used for anxiety, depression, and social fear. Skills-based behavioral work emphasizes practicing tools like relaxation, exposure to avoided situations, and activity scheduling to reduce avoidance and improve mood.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the first few sessions. She collaborates with each person or couple to match techniques to goals, symptoms, and weekly life demands. That means treatment can shift as needs change and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well across different delivery modes, so therapeutic progress is possible while arranging care around daily life.
