About Linnea

Linnea Borer is a licensed independent clinical social worker in Minnesota. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and trauma. Linnea aims to meet people where they are and help them make steps forward.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and skills people can use right away.

Background and approach

Linnea draws on approaches that include attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses these methods to help people change unhelpful patterns, improve difficult relationships, and manage overwhelming emotions. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to help people find motivation and set achievable goals.

For parents feeling drained or uncertain, Linnea offers practical strategies for coping and problem solving. She helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and respond to common parenting struggles without judgement. She also supports people dealing with grief, major life changes, or burnout.

People who choose Linnea can expect a calm, respectful session that emphasizes doable steps. She offers in-the-moment coaching and longer-term planning depending on what someone needs. If someone wants direct, practical help rooted in real-life goals, Linnea can be a partner in that work.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early or close relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online work this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors between sessions, and using simple tools to reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses focused conversation to clarify values, build motivation, and choose small, workable next steps. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That partnership means plans can change as progress is made. Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options offer flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with their schedules.
