About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, practicing in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting concerns. Linnea sees adults who want practical help managing everyday strain and relationship challenges at home.
She prefers short, direct conversations that clarify immediate problems. Linnea listens for patterns from past relationships that affect current family interactions. She helps people identify small changes that can reduce tension and make day-to-day life more manageable.
Her approach draws on methods that look at how attachment and personal stories shape behavior. Linnea uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of coping. She also brings solution-focused tools to set concrete goals and track small progress.
People working with Linnea often discuss parenting stress, grief after loss, mood shifts like depression or bipolar symptoms, and the effects of trauma. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, communication problems, blended family issues, and caregiving for aging relatives. Additional topics include adoption and foster care, body image, and end-of-life matters.
Sessions are conversational and work-focused. Expect to leave with one or two practical steps to try between meetings. Linnea asks about a person’s strengths and history, then helps shape realistic goals that fit daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current reactions. In brief sessions this approach looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect parenting and family contact.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts by testing small behavioral experiments.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and next steps. It helps set short-term targets and track small wins that ease daily life and reduce parenting stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their situation, goals, and preferences, and recommend approaches that fit. Plans can be adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it simpler to fit meetings into a busy day, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel so more frequent brief contacts are possible. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistent momentum between sessions.
