About Magdalena
Magdalena Lopez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who want practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
She focuses on working together with each person rather than lecturing. Magdalena asks questions, listens to how someone understands their life, and helps reframe unhelpful thoughts. She encourages self-acceptance and using common humanity as a starting point for change. She often asks clients to bring a journal to sessions to track patterns and ideas between meetings.
Her approach combines acceptance-based methods, client-centered conversation, and cognitive behavior techniques. That means she attends to values and present-moment awareness, centers the client's perspective, and offers concrete ways to test and shift thinking and behavior. Sessions include talking through current problems and trying specific strategies that can be used outside of appointments.
Magdalena has experience supporting people dealing with suicidal thinking and with recovery maintenance. She and the person in treatment build a plan together that looks at thoughts, beliefs, and actions. The aim is practical change rather than abstract theory.
To start, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Magdalena frames therapy as teamwork and uses journaling and action-focused steps to help clients notice patterns and make steady changes.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online work
Magdalena blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online sessions. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and to act toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings show up. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change how problems play out in daily life.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together so the work fits the person's priorities and preferences. That process helps decide whether to emphasize values work, thought-focused strategies, or a mix of both.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday or avoiding travel time for evening appointments. It also allows practical exercises, journaling between sessions, and homework that slot into everyday routines rather than requiring extra visits.
