About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Minnesota. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Linnea aims to create a calm, direct space where clients can talk about what matters and try practical ways to feel better.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and works alongside them to discover tools that fit day-to-day needs.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on clear goals and small, doable steps rather than long lectures. Linnea draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and repair strained relationships in everyday terms.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy when helping clients make concrete changes. Those approaches help people sort priorities, build motivation, and focus on solutions that work in real life. Typical concerns she addresses include parenting stress, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, and coping with bereavement.
Linnea also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, aging concerns, cancer, and end-of-life matters. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled to fit into busy lives. Linnea emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and step-by-step progress tailored to each person’s situation.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. In online sessions this approach helps people identify patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that reduce tension and anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, anger, and mood changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking steps between sessions, or people who communicate better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep work moving between appointments.
