About Arlene
Dr. Arlene Unger is a clinical psychologist who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope with life’s challenges. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and emotionally-focused work to guide sessions. Dr. Unger’s style centers on clear tools you can use between appointments and on making sense of difficult emotions in everyday life.
She has thirty years of experience in clinical work and a PhD in Clinical Psychology. That background informs how she helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction-related concerns, and trauma. She also supports people facing issues with sleep, eating, intimacy, self-esteem, and work stress.
Her approach blends practical skill-building with attention to emotions and values. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, try manageable experiments, and practice new responses to old problems. She also incorporates mindfulness and visualization exercises when helpful.
Dr. Unger writes about mindfulness and has produced guided visualization materials to support daily practice. She integrates coaching elements when people want structured goals and action plans. Her work aims to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity about the next step.
