Linnea Borer, LICSW

Linnea Borer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, working in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting concerns as described in her background. Linnea frames the work around what each person already knows about their life and strengths. She encourages practical steps and listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning.

Her approach is conversational and goal-oriented. She uses methods drawn from attachment work and cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems repeating. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused techniques to help people reframe painful events and try small, concrete changes. Motivational interviewing shows up when people are weighing change or feel stuck.

Sessions tend to emphasize what can be done between meetings. Linnea helps set manageable goals and checks progress in simple ways. She talks through communication strategies, boundaries, and steps to reduce overwhelm.

People come to her with many concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, depression, grief, and issues that follow trauma or abuse. She also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, aging issues, autism, blended family issues, and end-of-life concerns.

Her work is practical and direct. She helps people name the problems, try adjustments, and notice what shifts. To begin, follow the directory steps to match and schedule a first session.
