About Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. She uses simple, practical steps so daily life feels more manageable. Kaitlyn writes plainly and focuses on tools people can actually try between sessions.
Kaitlyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Virginia. She earned a master’s degree in social work with focus in grief work and has four years of experience in outpatient and community settings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in schools, medical social work, group therapy, and intensive in-home support. Her approach blends solution-focused strategies with conversational therapy. Sessions aim to calm racing thoughts and replace overwhelming feelings with small, doable habits.
She pays attention to attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce issues when those come up. Kaitlyn also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and social anxiety. She helps clients identify what matters to them, break problems into small parts, and practice new ways of coping.
Work often centers on realistic goals and steps a person can try between meetings. Outside of clinical work she supports mental health efforts in a K–12 school division and is a parent herself. That perspective shapes a practical, down-to-earth style that aims to meet people where they are.
Kaitlyn focuses on making therapy useful and understandable for busy lives.
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Her practice uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. Solution-focused strategies concentrate on small, achievable steps to reduce distress and move toward specific goals; this can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Grief-focused work addresses losses beyond death, such as loss of hope or major life changes, by helping people name their losses and try manageable ways to rebuild routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaboration means methods can shift as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and live chat or messaging work well for brief updates or when typing feels easier. This range of formats helps fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
