From Therapy to Thriving Teams: Why I’m Expanding My Work to Organizations

By Magda Occhicone, LMFT

For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working as a licensed marriage and family therapist—helping individuals and families navigate relationships, recover from burnout, communicate more effectively, and rebuild trust. Again and again, I’ve seen just how much healing and transformation is possible when people feel seen, heard, and understood.

But something else became clear to me over the years:

The same struggles that impact our homes—miscommunication, stress, emotional disconnect—are alive in our workplaces too.

As I listened to clients talk about their jobs, team dynamics, and leadership stress, I realized: the tools we use in therapy are not just helpful in the family system. They are essential in the organizational system.

That’s why I created The Relational Method—a consulting approach that applies therapy-informed insight to help organizations build more connected, resilient, and emotionally intelligent workplaces.

What I Now Offer

Under The Relational Method, I provide:

🧠 Executive Coaching for Women Leaders

Supporting burnout recovery, boundaries, and sustainable leadership strategies.

🤝 Team Communication Workshops

Half-day sessions designed to build trust, resolve conflict, and align teams around values and roles.

🌿 Leadership Consulting & Coaching

Helping founders and leadership teams clarify their relational style, navigate change, and improve decision-making.

Whether it’s one-on-one coaching or full-team intensives, my goal is simple:

Help people relate better—because when relationships thrive, so does the organization.

Why Relationships at Work Matter

Work is more than a task list—it’s a daily experience of human interaction. When communication breaks down, trust erodes, and emotions go unacknowledged, even the most talented teams suffer.

But when we prioritize relational health, everything changes:

✅ Productivity rises✅ Burnout decreases✅ Collaboration deepens✅ Retention improves

One Integrated Approach

I’m still practicing therapy for individuals who want support in their personal lives. And now, through consulting, I support organizations who want to lead with connection—not just strategy.

One method. Many applications. Always focused on the human element.
