About Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing depression, grief, relationship strain, and big life changes. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use each day to feel steadier.
Kaitlyn uses a mix of solution-focused strategies and traditional talk therapy. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward building small, doable skills for handling worry and heavy emotions. She describes her goal as helping clients quiet an overactive anxiety brain and find tools that actually fit their lives.
Background and approach
She holds a Master’s in Social Work with a focus in grief therapy and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, in Virginia. Her background includes outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work alongside chronically ill patients. That variety shaped a practical approach to common life challenges.
Kaitlyn is particularly interested in grief beyond loss by death - the grief of lost plans, hope, and identity. She also focuses on attachment issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and social anxiety and phobia. These areas often show up alongside anxiety and stress.
Outside clinical work she supports a K–12 school division and brings mental health prevention to a rural community. She is a parent and often connects with other caregivers about day-to-day struggles. She enjoys breakfast foods, a good book, and kids' TV with her family.
Approaches that meet you where you are online
Many people benefit from practical, solution-focused techniques that target immediate problems and build manageable skills for daily life. These strategies emphasize short-term goals and exercises you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Talk-based therapy complements this by giving space to understand feelings, process grief, and work through relationship challenges in a steady way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with skill-building for anxiety, then slowing down to process grief or relationship patterns as needed. Decisions are made together and can shift over time.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to touch base between sessions, send quick updates, or use a shorter format that fits a work break or a busy caregiving day.
