About Magdalena
Magdalena Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and related concerns. She supports people living with ADHD, those facing trauma or abuse, and people navigating intimacy and LGBT issues. Magdalena speaks English and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work.
She takes a straightforward, team-based approach. Sessions focus on understanding your experience, noticing patterns, and testing small changes.
Background and approach
Magdalena emphasizes self-acceptance and common humanity while you reframe thoughts and take practical steps toward the life you want. Her counseling blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means conversations will include noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and trying actionable behavior changes between sessions.
Magdalena suggests keeping a journal to track progress and reflect on insights. Magdalena has experience working with suicidal thoughts and recovery maintenance within her broader practice. She adapts the pace and tools to each person’s needs and priorities.
Her focus is on helping people build skills they can use in daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the service. Magdalena offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect.

How Magdalena’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters most. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and choices. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and supports the client in discovering their own goals and solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It often includes short exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Magdalena will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and tools as the relationship develops so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work with lower bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy days and different schedules.
