About Linnea
Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, and related challenges. Linnea aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to seek help.
She works from the idea that each person knows their own story and strengths. Sessions center on listening, identifying what currently helps, and building skills that fit day-to-day life.
How Linnea works
Linnea uses practical tools and conversation to address difficult emotions and relationship strain. Her approach blends strategies that look at patterns in relationships, thoughts, and personal narratives. This lets her tailor work to issues such as trauma, self-esteem struggles, and coping with major life changes.
She offers both short-term problem solving and longer work for deeper concerns. Linnea also supports people facing caregiving, adoption and foster care matters, aging concerns, and health-related stress like cancer or hospice needs. She works with issues that touch family of origin, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood questions, always focusing on the individual's goals.
Sessions are available in English and are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The therapy process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client's needs.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape current feelings and responses. In therapy this often means mapping early patterns and trying new ways of connecting that reduce anxiety and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build routines that improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost someone’s readiness to change by exploring their values and goals rather than pushing solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. This is a team effort, with adjustments made over time based on what helps the person make progress.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick, flexible communication and are useful for brief reflections or check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt approaches to each person's situation.
