Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner, LCSW

Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life transitions. With four years of clinical experience, she blends practical, solution-focused strategies with thoughtful talk therapy to help clients quiet persistent worry and develop manageable coping tools. Kaitlyn holds a Master of Social Work with a focus in grief therapy, is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), and is a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, a credential that indicates additional training in supporting complex bereavement.

Her experience spans outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work supporting people with chronic illness. She works with adults facing stress, depression, attachment concerns, caregiver strain, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and isolation. Kaitlyn is especially invested in helping people grieving a range of losses - not only death but also loss of hope, identity, or anticipated futures.

When she is not providing therapy, Kaitlyn works in a K–12 school division bringing mental health prevention efforts to a rural community and supporting students. She is also a mother who connects with other caregivers about the everyday realities of parenting. Outside of work she enjoys breakfast foods, reading, and whatever children’s show is the current favorite in her household, such as Gabby Dollhouse or Paw Patrol. Kaitlyn looks forward to collaborating with clients to make life feel more manageable and purposeful.

Evidence-based grief and solution-focused care online

Kaitlyn often uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on practical steps and small changes clients can try between sessions. This approach helps people manage anxiety, reduce overwhelm, and build concrete coping strategies for daily stress. She also draws on grief-focused therapy, informed by her Master of Social Work concentration and advanced grief counseling certification, to support those navigating loss of many kinds - including death, changed expectations, or diminished hopes. Grief-focused work explores meaning, adjustment, and ways to move forward while honoring what has been lost.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kaitlyn collaborates with each client to determine what fits best. She tailors methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and reassesses as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow clients to connect with a licensed professional from familiar surroundings while working on stress, relationships, grief, and life transitions.
