About Magdalena
Magdalena Lopez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, relationship intimacy concerns, anger, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.
She works in a practical, conversational way. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, trying new responses, and tracking progress with simple tools. Magdalena asks people to bring a journal to sessions so they can notice patterns and decide what to change between meetings.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. That means some sessions look at thoughts and behavior patterns, while others focus on values, acceptance, and building a working relationship that centers the client's voice. She frames therapy as collaborative work where the person and therapist test changes in everyday life.
Magdalena has experience addressing crises and recovery maintenance, and she includes safety planning when needed. She uses straightforward language and concrete exercises rather than abstract theory. The aim is to reframe beliefs and take small, practical steps toward the life someone wants.
To start, she guides people through a short intake and a first session that focuses on clear goals and simple homework. The tone is direct and action-oriented, with attention to self-acceptance and what someone can try next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Magdalena uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses in daily life. CBT sessions often include simple behavioral experiments, thought records, and short practice tasks that people can use between meetings.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values-based action and accepting difficult feelings while still moving toward what matters. ACT helps when avoidance or uncertainty keeps someone stuck and they want to act in line with their priorities.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. She will review goals and preferences and suggest which approach to emphasize. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust methods together as needed.
Specific session formats are not listed in the source biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow exercises and journaling to be shared between meetings. Magdalena uses practical tasks that transfer to everyday life, so the main benefit is being able to try changes in real situations and discuss results at the next session.
