Magdelena Unger, LICSW

Magdelena Unger is a licensed clinical social worker who partners with adults and couples to explore why they think, feel, and react the way they do. She helps clients identify underlying patterns and makes sense of confusing or unexpected responses so the path forward is clearer and more manageable.

Using a collaborative, practical approach, she and each client build a step-by-step plan that moves at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable. Her work ranges from focused diagnostic sessions that clarify symptom patterns or possible diagnoses to ongoing individual and couples therapy that combines goal-oriented treatment, psychoeducation, and supportive guidance.

Magdelena also provides short-term crisis care and safety planning after recent crises, and she offers comprehensive psychological autopsy reports for survivors after a death by suicide. With an emphasis on grounded, actionable strategies, she addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career difficulties, and depression, as well as related issues like caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and panic attacks.

Magdelena Unger holds the LICSW credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and she invites interested individuals to schedule a consultation to determine whether they may be a good fit for her services.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Magdelena uses goal-oriented treatment to help clients set clear, practical objectives and track progress step by step. This approach focuses on actionable strategies that address concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, helping people move toward measurable change.

She also incorporates psychoeducation to explain how symptoms and patterns develop and to teach practical skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with grief or life transitions. When immediate needs arise, Magdelena offers crisis care and safety planning to provide short-term support following a recent event.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Magdelena collaborates with clients to identify which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, allowing therapy to fit into daily life while maintaining the same focus on effective, evidence-based care.
