About Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and coping with life changes, including guilt and shame. Kaitlyn uses clear, practical methods so people leave sessions with something they can try between meetings.
She favors a mix of solution-focused strategies and straightforward talk therapy. Sessions often center on calming the overactive worry mind and building small, doable tools for daily life. She also supports people processing attachment issues, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce-related changes.
Kaitlyn earned a Master’s in Social Work with a focus on grief therapy and later became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her background includes outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work with chronically ill patients. That range informs how she adapts practical techniques to different situations.
She spends part of her time working in a K–12 school division in a rural community, where she helps bring mental health prevention efforts to students and staff. Kaitlyn is a parent and understands the everyday burdens caregivers carry, which shapes how she talks about stress and burnout with others. Outside of work she enjoys breakfast foods and reading, and she’s familiar with the rhythms of life in a busy household.
Kaitlyn aims to make therapy down-to-earth and useful. People can expect clear goals, direct tools to try between sessions, and discussion about how to use what works in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
She commonly uses solution-focused strategies, which concentrate on identifying small, practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce worry or move past a stuck spot. This method is useful for addressing day-to-day anxiety, caregiver stress, and short-term problems like adjusting to separation.She also draws on grief-focused talk work that helps name losses beyond death, such as loss of hope or role changes. That approach involves making sense of feelings, tracking how they show up, and developing ways to manage overwhelming moments without avoiding them.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. If something doesn’t fit, she adjusts the plan with the client rather than insisting on one method.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about which session formats are offered so you can choose what works with your schedule and daily life.
