Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner, LCSW

Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner, LCSW, focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and big life changes. She meets people where they are and aims to make overwhelming feelings feel more manageable. Her approach is practical and conversational, with attention to what will work day to day.

Kaitlyn uses solution-focused strategies alongside talk therapy to reduce anxious thinking and build doable coping tools. She helps people name what they’re feeling, try small changes, and track what actually helps. Sessions are paced to fit each person’s needs and energy.

She earned a Master’s in Social Work with a focus in grief therapy and holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. Her background includes outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work with people facing chronic illness.

Kaitlyn has particular experience supporting people coping with loss beyond death, such as loss of hope, disappointments, and major life transitions. She also works with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and social anxiety and phobia.

Outside of clinical work she supports mental health efforts in a K–12 school division in a rural community and balances life as a mom. That perspective shapes her practical style and her focus on everyday strategies that fit into busy family life.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online work

Many clients find practical, evidence-based techniques helpful for the kinds of concerns Kaitlyn works with. Solution-focused strategies concentrate on current goals and small steps that lead to change, helping reduce overwhelm and create immediate, testable actions. Grief-focused approaches help name losses that aren’t only about death and guide people through complicated feelings while building coping routines.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as needed. That way the work matches the client’s needs and preferences rather than following a rigid plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also lets people meet with licensed professionals from different parts of the state and continue work between in-person appointments when that approach makes sense.
