About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Linnea aims to meet people where they are and supports practical steps toward feeling steadier in daily life.
She believes each person is the expert on their own story and that strengths can be used to move through hard moments. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and manageable strategies rather than long lists of techniques. Conversations cover what feels most pressing, and progress is measured in small, real changes.
Linnea uses approaches such as attachment-based work to look at close relationships and how they shape reactions. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help set realistic steps when change feels overwhelming.
This therapist also pays attention to complex life events like trauma, bereavement, adoption or foster care questions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She supports people facing medical or end-of-life concerns and those dealing with identity and relationship issues.
Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Linnea encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to set the pace. She invites a collaborative effort to build coping skills and clearer next steps for daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Linnea uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse, and then try small behavior changes to test different outcomes. She also draws on attachment-based work to look at how relationship patterns influence emotional responses and to build more predictable ways of relating.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable now. That conversation guides whether a CBT focus, attachment work, or a motivational or solution-focused step approach will be emphasized, and it is adjusted over time in collaboration with the client.
Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Many people find online therapy useful for fitting sessions into busy days, reducing travel time, and making it easier to check in during a short break. Online work can also let people use tools such as worksheets, short skill practices, and follow-up notes between meetings to support progress.
