About Linnea

Linnea Borer is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings five years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. Linnea aims to create a straightforward, down-to-earth space where people can talk through pressing problems and build practical skills.

She approaches sessions believing each person knows their story best. Linnea helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to manage hard moments.

Background and approach

Her style is collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what feels realistic for daily life. Linnea draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help when someone needs clarity about change or wants short-term strategies. In therapy she listens for what matters most to a person and works toward small, concrete steps. Sessions often include talking, trying new perspectives, and planning experiments to change routines.

This practical rhythm helps people handle grief, manage anxiety, or face transitions. Linnea works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, ADHD, depression, relationship and family stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, aging and hospice-related concerns, and caregiving fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and take place through online formats.

Online support

How attachment work and practical methods translate online

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating, which can help with anxiety, relationship stress, and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts that feed worry or low mood and testing new behaviors to reduce their impact. That approach is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Over a few sessions they will check what helps and adjust the plan together so it fits what the person needs and prefers.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it easier to read facial expression and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, follow-up notes, and steady support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try approaches without extra travel time.
