Linnea Borer

Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings five years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Linnea approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

She aims for a straightforward and respectful style in sessions. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented while also attending to how past relationships shape current feelings. Linnea uses tools to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts, reframe hard problems, and try small experiments between sessions.

Her work includes attention to trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, depression, ADHD, and concerns around identity and relationships. She also supports people facing caregiving issues, adoption and foster care concerns, grief at end of life, and medical-related stress such as cancer or hospice needs.

Linnea draws from a mix of approaches including attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused techniques. Those methods guide practical steps, such as improving communication, managing strong emotions, and creating short-term plans for change.

Approach-driven online care and what it looks like

Linnea commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include setting small experiments, practicing coping skills, and tracking changes over time to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This work helps people recognize patterns in close relationships, name what they need, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Linnea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. The choice of techniques can change over time as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports practicing skills between meetings in the settings where challenges occur. Ask about available session formats when you schedule so options match your daily life and needs.
