Caroline Schnarrs, LCSW

Caroline Schnarrs is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those facing relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, ADHD, and major life transitions. Caroline brings a calm, collaborative presence and treats people with respect and dignity.

She has been in the helping profession for over 20 years and holds an LCSW license in Utah. Her background includes working with people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and serious life changes. That experience shaped a practical approach focused on what works day to day.

Caroline’s style is warm and team-oriented. She aims to build a strong working relationship and to listen before offering interventions. Sessions tend to focus on thoughts and everyday habits, and on small changes that lead to clearer thinking and steadier coping.

Therapy mixes client-centered conversations with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches, along with motivational interviewing strategies when people are weighing change. That combination is used to identify unhelpful patterns and to try new ways of responding to stress and conflict.

Her work is straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on the client’s values and goals. She encourages clients to use their existing strengths while learning specific skills for emotion regulation, communication, and decision making.

Approaches that guide online work and practical change

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace. It focuses on understanding the person’s goals and building a respectful working relationship that helps people feel heard and supported.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, concrete changes to improve mood and daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who struggle with strong mood swings, impulsivity, or chronic relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in together and adjusting the plan over time so it feels helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, reducing travel time, and keeping progress consistent during busy periods.
