About Kaitlyn

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with four years of clinical experience. Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and social anxiety and phobia.

Kaitlyn uses a mix of solution-focused strategies and conversational therapy. Sessions aim to quiet persistent worry and build simple, practical skills that fit into daily life. She emphasizes plain language and doable steps rather than jargon or long exercises.

Her graduate training included a master’s degree in social work with a focus on grief therapy. Kaitlyn is an LCSW and has worked in outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home care, group therapy, and medical social work with people who have chronic illness. These varied settings inform how she approaches practical problems and supports coping.

Kaitlyn currently works in a K–12 school division where she supports students and helps create mental health prevention programs for a rural community. She also draws on her experience as a parent when discussing caregiver stress and everyday pressures that come with raising children.

In sessions she tends to combine brief goal-focused strategies with open conversation. The work often looks like setting small goals, practicing a new coping step between meetings, and checking what actually helped. Kaitlyn asks clients to be realistic about time and energy so tools are more likely to be used.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

She uses solution-focused techniques that focus on setting short-term goals and identifying small steps that can be practiced between sessions. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and practical life problems because it emphasizes immediate, testable changes rather than lengthy analysis.

She also uses conversational, grief-informed work that helps people name losses and find coping strategies for sadness and disappointment. That work can include talking through painful memories, noticing how grief shows up day to day, and trying new routines to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. They also let people continue care while balancing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
