About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, practicing in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and anger. Her approach centers on practical ways to move forward rather than long labels or jargon.
She sees clients as the experts in their own lives and uses that viewpoint to guide sessions. Conversations focus on current struggles and on strengths the person already has. Linnea aims for straightforward plans that people can try between meetings.
Her background includes methods drawn from attachment work and cognitive behavioral approaches. She adds narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe patterns and test small changes. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying goals or finding reasons to try something new.
In sessions she talks through patterns of thinking and behavior, then builds simple steps to change how those patterns play out. For anger, that may mean identifying triggers, practicing short strategies in the moment, and exploring how relationships shape reactions. For grief or parenting concerns she focuses on practical supports and manageable next steps.
Linnea offers direct, plain-spoken guidance and collaborative problem solving. She helps people weigh options, set realistic goals, and track progress. People who want practical tools and clear next steps may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can focus on patterns in close relationships, helping people notice how early bonds influence current anger or trust issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing short coping skills between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, or solution-focused techniques are the best fit for the issue at hand and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or sessions that avoid travel time. It also lets people try techniques in the context of their daily routines and bring what happens between sessions back for discussion.
