About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a licensed clinical social worker in Minnesota. She holds the LICSW credential and brings five years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing ADHD, relationship strain, trauma, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens first, then helps people name problems and try small changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Linnea emphasizes each person's strengths and life story as the basis for change. Linnea uses approaches such as attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals.
The work combines talking through events with concrete strategies for daily life. People who reach out can expect a calm, direct style. Linnea helps clients break large challenges into manageable parts.
She pays attention to how family background and relationships shape current struggles and uses that to guide problem-solving. Her practice includes support for a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including parenting strain, caregiving and end-of-life stress, adoption and foster care issues, and identity-related challenges. She meets with people who want a practical, collaborative process to make steady progress.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior; online sessions use questions and reflection to uncover those patterns and think about new ways of connecting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small experiments to shift them, which can be practiced and reviewed during video or messaging sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Linnea will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and daily life. She helps set short-term goals and adjusts techniques based on what feels useful and doable for the client.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints when schedules are tight. These options help fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other routines.
