No one passes through life’s ups and downs without being changed by them. Change often brings out both strengths and vulnerabilities, and Dr. Arlene Unger works with adults and children from diverse backgrounds to help navigate those moments.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Brain Training, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients develop practical coping skills for immediate challenges, chronic stress, early trauma, or loss. With a PhD in Clinical Psychology and three decades of clinical experience, she brings deep training and perspective to the healing process.

Dr. Unger is a licensed psychologist in California (CA Psychologist 15383) and holds additional certifications in nutrition, wellness, mindfulness, life coaching, and substance abuse. That combined training supports a whole-person approach to finding balance, recognizing the need for change, and collaborating on tailored steps forward.

She is also the author of seven mindfulness visualization exercise books and has published numerous articles at http://drarleneunger@com. Dr. Unger aims to empower clients to find hope and relief in daily living, and she notes that the first step takes courage—she is reachable by text, phone call, or video session to make beginning the work easier.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people ask whether working with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that best suits them, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care.

Each therapist offering online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, effective way to address everyday mental health concerns and navigate change.
