About Magdalena
Magdalena Lopez is a licensed professional counselor based in Arizona who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She emphasizes working within each person's worldview and encourages self-acceptance and recognition of shared human experience as foundations for change. Her approach fosters practical shifts in thinking and behavior while honoring personal values and expression.
With eight years of clinical practice, Magdalena tailors conversations and treatment plans to the individual, using collaborative techniques to reframe unhelpful beliefs and take positive action toward meaningful goals. She includes work on recovery maintenance and has experience addressing suicidality when it arises in care.
Clients are invited to participate actively in sessions, with journaling recommended as a tool to deepen self-understanding and guide progress. Magdalena frames therapy as a team effort and aims to help people build the life they want through thoughtful reflection and intentional steps forward.
Approaches that guide online counseling
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns by teaching practical skills for managing reactions and building healthier habits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, clarifying personal values, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. This approach can be helpful for people working through difficult emotions, identity-related stress, or when motivation to change feels unclear.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Magdalena will work with clients to determine which methods or combination of methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, homework recommendations, and ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
