About Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on making things feel more manageable when emotions feel overwhelming. Kaitlyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW based in Virginia and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.

She uses a mix of solution-focused strategies and talk therapy to help quiet anxious thoughts and build small, usable tools.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with time spent on skills people can use between meetings. Kaitlyn pays attention to how worry and loss show up in the body as well as in thoughts and behavior. Her background includes a Master's in Social Work with a focus in grief therapy and a range of clinical settings.

She has worked in outpatient counseling, family therapy settings, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work with chronically ill patients. That variety informs how she adapts support to different life situations. Kaitlyn has a particular interest in complicated grief and losses that are not tied to death alone, such as loss of hope or major life transitions.

She also addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, and social anxiety. In sessions she aims for practical steps that fit each person's day-to-day life. Outside of clinical work she supports students in a K–12 school division and brings mental health prevention efforts to a rural community.

She is a parent and often connects with caregivers about the small, real challenges of raising children.

Everything Kaitlyn lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Kaitlyn draws on two straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress and grief. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals; it is useful when someone needs quick, practical strategies to feel steadier. Talk-based grief work helps people name and process losses that aren’t only about death, such as lost hopes or major life changes, and it creates space to grieve and plan next steps.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan to match goals, life demands, and personal preferences. Sessions often blend techniques to suit the moment rather than sticking to a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client use facial cues and conversation similar to an in-person visit. Phone sessions work well when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send shorter updates, practice new skills between sessions, or reach out when a full session doesn’t fit the day. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
