Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner

Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, depression, and major life changes. She writes in plain language and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. Kaitlyn aims to help clients quiet racing thoughts and build tools they can actually use between sessions.

Her approach blends solution-focused strategies with traditional talk therapy. That means sessions often look at concrete goals, small experiments to try at home, and space to talk through feelings that feel overwhelming. She pays special attention to grief that includes loss of hope, disappointment, or change, not only bereavement.

Kaitlyn’s training includes a Master’s in Social Work with a focus on grief therapy, and she holds an LCSW in Virginia. Her background includes outpatient counseling, family-focused work, group therapy, intensive in-home services, and medical social work with chronically ill patients. That variety informs a flexible, down-to-earth style.

She currently works in a K–12 school division supporting student mental health and prevention efforts in a rural community. Kaitlyn is also a parent and draws on that perspective when talking with caregivers about everyday challenges. Her manner is straightforward and warm, with an emphasis on tools that fit busy lives.

If you want a therapist who balances practical steps with time to process emotions, Kaitlyn offers that blend. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and finding the right fit

Many of Kaitlyn’s sessions use solution-focused techniques that look at small, achievable changes. These strategies help people break large problems into bite-sized steps and test new ways of coping between appointments.

She also uses talk therapy to create space for processing grief, shame, and relationship worries. That approach gives time to name painful feelings, understand how they show up, and make choices about next steps.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
