About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles that show up in early adulthood, including stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse.
Linnea frames clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on their existing strengths. Sessions aim to identify practical steps that reduce immediate pressure. She uses clear, direct conversation rather than jargon and works to keep things focused and manageable.
Her work blends several approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships affect current trust and closeness. Solution-focused and narrative techniques help people find small changes and rewrite the stories that keep them stuck.
Linnea also supports people dealing with identity and relationship questions, ADHD and bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and complex family or adoption-related issues. She includes practical problem solving for things like communication, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.
People who prefer straightforward feedback and actionable steps often find her approach useful. To start, readers should confirm how sessions are scheduled and which formats are available before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions using attachment-informed techniques often center on noticing how you relate to others and building different ways to ask for support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into small steps. In an online session CBT work can include identifying patterns, testing new behaviors between meetings, and tracking progress together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try, and they adjust the plan as needed based on what fits the client’s life and priorities.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work shifts, or parenting duties. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or conversations without needing travel time. Ask about scheduling details and any session length options when you set up the first appointment.
