Caroline Schnarrs

Caroline Schnarrs is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She brings 23 years of experience in social service and mental health work. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Caroline practices in Utah and has worked in a range of settings, including outreach to people experiencing homelessness and work with addiction and family conflict. She centers respect and dignity in sessions and aims to build a trusting working relationship. Clients can expect a collaborative approach where their goals guide the work.

Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy. In sessions she talks through current struggles, identifies patterns that get in the way, and practices small experiments to test new ways of coping. She emphasizes changing unhelpful thoughts and building skills for emotion management.

Caroline often helps people with depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, and compulsive behaviors like hoarding or impulsivity. Her work is practical and goal-oriented while staying compassionate.

She encourages people to take small steps toward change and believes clients already have strengths to build on. The focus is on clear goals, manageable strategies, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It helps people find their own solutions by building a respectful relationship and listening closely to what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, or anger.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and impulsive actions. It offers practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and needs. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as in person, and the focus is on building skills, solving problems, and tracking steady progress.
