Caroline SchnarrsLCSW

Caroline Schnarrs is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and pregnancy and childbirth related worries. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make therapy feel practical and doable for busy people.

Caroline draws on 23 years in the helping professions, including long experience in community settings and work with people facing homelessness, addiction, and serious life transitions. She currently practices in Utah and brings that background to conversations about coping, grief, and the everyday strains of family life.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. Sessions focus on clear goals, real-life skills, and shifts in thinking that change how people feel and act. Caroline leans on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's values and priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help people clarify what matters and build small practical steps toward it.

Caroline aims to encourage and empower people as they make change. She emphasizes dignity and the strengths clients already bring, and she will work alongside clients to help them find workable tools for the challenges they face.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship, helping people feel understood and guiding the work by their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people struggling with strong reactions or self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as needed in collaboration with the client.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use visual tools or worksheets during a session and move at a pace that suits their life and commitments.
