Linnea Borer

Linnea Borer is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Minnesota. She brings five years of direct clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. Linnea frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of upsetting events and memories, and she pairs that with Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing are tools she uses to help people change unhelpful thinking and stay motivated for practical steps. Narrative Therapy is also part of her approach, helping people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Linnea aims to make space for both what feels difficult and what is still working in someone’s life. She often sets simple, measurable goals so progress is easier to track. Linnea works with a wide range of concerns beyond trauma, including depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. She also offers support around adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and end-of-life concerns. Her style is collaborative and practical. She helps people figure out next steps, learn new skills, and adjust strategies when life shifts. To begin, clients use the site to match and schedule a session according to availability.

How trauma-informed and attachment work translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process upsetting events and reduce their ongoing impact. Sessions often include gentle, paced work on memories, coping skills, and managing strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships affect thoughts and feelings and helps people build steadier ways of relating to others.

Linnea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors in daily life. Those approaches can be practical for anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma because they focus on clear steps and skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Then she and the client decide whether Trauma-Focused Therapy, attachment work, CBT, or a mix fits best and adjust as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, school, or caregiving. It also allows a shorter check-in when time is limited, or a quieter conversation when sitting on camera would be difficult. Ask about format options so you can choose what matches your daily routine and needs.
