Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner

Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. She asks simple questions and listens closely so clients can name what feels hardest. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that make daily life easier and less overwhelming.

Her approach blends solution-focused strategies with conversational therapy. That means working together to quiet an anxious mind and build tools that feel doable. She aims to make progress feel realistic instead of overwhelming, and to tailor ideas to each person’s life and routine.

Kaitlyn earned a Master of Social Work with a focus in grief therapy and later became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She also completed a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist credential and has experience in outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work with chronically ill patients.

She currently works in a K–12 school division, helping bring mental health prevention to a rural community while also supporting students. As a parent, Kaitlyn understands caregiver stress and the juggling that comes with raising kids, and she often helps people work through caregiver strain, isolation, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce.

Outside of work she enjoys breakfast foods, reading, and the occasional kids’ TV show. She invites prospective clients to start with a short matching questionnaire to see if her style fits what they need.

How evidence-based approaches fit online care

Many of the techniques Kaitlyn uses are evidence-based and focused on clear, practical work. Solution-focused strategies concentrate on identifying small, achievable goals and building steps to reach them; this helps when anxiety or stress makes forward motion feel hard. Grief-informed methods pay attention to the many kinds of loss people experience, including loss of hope or life changes, and support coping, meaning-making, and day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try out techniques, and adjust based on what actually helps. Clients and therapist work together to choose methods that match needs, comfort, and practical life demands rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue care from different locations and keeps continuity when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt solution-focused and grief-informed techniques to online conversations to help clients practice new coping strategies and track progress over time.
