About Magdalena
Magdalena Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with five years of experience working with adults carrying heavy emotions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she helps people who are wrestling with guilt and shame among other struggles.
Magdalena approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She talks through how a person’s past and present connect, and looks closely at patterns in relationships and self-talk. Practical conversation is a common part of her work - naming what’s happening, noticing repeated reactions, and trying different ways of responding.
She also addresses attachment concerns and communication problems that often sit underneath repeated conflict or loneliness. For people troubled by body image or self-love, she focuses on how beliefs about the self show up in daily life and relationships. Forgiveness and guilt are explored as feelings that affect behavior and connection rather than as moral verdicts.
Magdalena invites people to try small, manageable changes between sessions. That might include short exercises to test a new way of speaking up, practice noticing critical thoughts, or steps to rebuild trust in a relationship. She explains options in plain language and works together with clients to choose what to try next.
Her background as an LCSW grounds practical problem-solving alongside attention to emotional experience. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online options.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, teachable skills. Cognitive approaches help identify and change unhelpful thoughts that feed guilt, shame, anxiety, or low mood. They involve noticing automatic thoughts and testing whether those thoughts match what actually happened.Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in relationships and how early ways of relating show up now. This helps when guilt or shame is tied to how someone expects others to react, or to repeated relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to try based on goals, current struggles, and what feels manageable. Decisions about pacing and methods are made together rather than imposed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, sessions in different time zones, or avoiding travel time. Different formats can also let someone pick what feels simplest for them, such as fewer video demands or a quicker phone check-in, depending on what the therapist offers.
