About Linnea

Linnea Borer is a licensed independent clinical social worker in Minnesota. She brings five years of clinical experience and a straightforward, supportive approach to sessions. Linnea focuses on practical steps people can use when life feels overwhelming. She encourages clients to notice their strengths and to build on what already works for them.

Linnea helps people manage stress and anxiety and navigate grief and loss. She also works with those facing parenting challenges and the impact of trauma and abuse. Her practice includes attention to issues like depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and burnout from caregiving or work.

In the room, Linnea favors clear goals and simple tools. She uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, tell their story in new ways, and strengthen important bonds. Sessions often include small experiments to try between meetings and straightforward problem solving for the next week.

Linnea pays attention to adoption and foster care matters among other focused areas. She also addresses life transitions such as divorce, end-of-life concerns, and caregiving for older adults. Her work aims to make day-to-day life feel more manageable and connected to what matters most.

Clients can expect a collaborative conversation that names practical steps. Linnea supports people who want concrete strategies, clear priorities, and gentle encouragement while they work toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Linnea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work; this approach looks at how relationships shape feelings and reactions, and it helps people build more secure connections with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linnea collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what is actually helping between sessions.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when those are helpful. It can also make it simpler to continue care through life transitions while keeping the focus on practical steps and measurable goals.
