Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner, LCSW

Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with attachment struggles, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, and social anxiety. She writes plainly and aims to make therapy practical and doable.

Kaitlyn uses a mix of solution-focused strategies and talk therapy to help quiet anxious thinking and build tools people can actually use. She earned a Master of Social Work with a focus in grief therapy and holds the LCSW credential. Her background includes outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work with chronically ill patients.

She has four years of experience and brings that range of settings into sessions so people can try concrete strategies and reflective conversations. Sessions often focus on short-term goals, coping skills, and making small changes that add up over time. She aims to keep things practical rather than overwhelming.

Kaitlyn also works in a K–12 school division supporting student mental health and prevention efforts in a rural community. As a parent herself, she understands caregiver pressures and the everyday demands of raising children, and she often draws on that perspective when supporting caregivers.

She prefers a warm, straightforward style and encourages people to bring what’s real and messy to sessions. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Evidence-based work often starts with two complementary approaches: solution-focused strategies and grief-informed therapy. Solution-focused strategies look at what is already working and build small, practical steps to reach specific goals; this can help with anxiety, stress, and everyday coping. Grief-informed therapy helps people name losses beyond death, such as lost plans or hope, and develops ways to carry difficult feelings while still managing daily life.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try techniques that fit. If something isn’t working, they will adjust the plan so sessions remain useful and relevant.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. The specific session formats available with this therapist are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can let people check in during a lunch break, avoid a commute, or have a shorter session when energy is low, which can make ongoing care more manageable.
