About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and related life changes. Linnea focuses on practical skills people can try between sessions to manage distress and handle daily demands.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and on motivational interviewing to support decision-making and change.
Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying small experiments, and tracking what does and does not work. Linnea helps people set clear, manageable goals and breaks larger problems into steps. She pays attention to how past relationships shape present reactions and to patterns that keep problems going.
She works with a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety and grief, including depression, ADHD, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, anger, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and parenting topics. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, cancer-related distress, and end-of-life counseling.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Minnesota. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule a first session. Linnea uses clear, task-focused work aimed at practical change rather than abstract theory.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Linnea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then tries small, practical experiments to test alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday habit change.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect reactions and closeness. That work helps with relationship strain, parenting challenges, and understanding recurring conflicts. Motivational interviewing appears in her practice to help people clarify their goals and strengthen commitment to change, especially when decisions feel difficult.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Linnea will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She often combines techniques across approaches and checks progress so adjustments can be made together.
