Dr. Linnea Linde-Krieger is an Assistant Professor with the Arizona State University School of Social Work. She earned an MSW from the University of Maryland, Baltimore and a PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of California, Riverside. She completed postdoctoral training through the University of Arizona College of Medicine and a University of Arizona Postdoctoral Data Science Fellowship. Dr. Linde-Krieger has direct social work practice experience with children and families and has held an active LCSW license since 2015.
Dr. Linde-Krieger’s research focuses on stress and health across the lifespan, with an emphasis on the social, biological, and systemic factors that shape wellbeing and recovery. Her work examines how experiences of adversity and trauma influence health trajectories through both behavioral and physiological pathways. She is particularly interested in how social connectedness, caregiving relationships, and relational health promote resilience and disrupt intergenerational cycles of risk.
Her research integrates stress physiology and neuroendocrine processes—such as oxytocin and stress system regulation—to understand mechanisms linking adversity, caregiving, and health behavior. Using data science and advanced quantitative methods, including ecological momentary assessment, longitudinal modeling, and machine learning, Dr. Linde-Krieger’s work identifies modifiable targets for prevention and intervention.
Dr. Linde-Krieger also conducts implementation science focused on workforce development in behavioral health and substance use treatment systems. This work emphasizes trauma-informed, patient-centered care and strategies to promote provider wellbeing and sustainable practice change. Grounded in community-based and interdisciplinary collaboration, her research aims to advance equitable, evidence-driven approaches to care.
