About Caroline
Caroline Schnarrs is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Utah with 23 years in the helping professions. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, ADHD, and issues around guilt and shame.
Caroline draws on straightforward methods rather than jargon. She uses client-centered care alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing the thoughts that shape feelings and actions.
Her history includes work with individuals and families affected by homelessness, addiction, family conflict, and major life transitions. That experience shapes a pragmatic approach to everyday problems, from communication struggles to caregiving stress and chronic illness adjustments. Caroline aims to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and to practice different responses.
In sessions she talks through goals, explores which strategies fit a person's life, and adapts methods as needed. She emphasizes collaboration and respect while helping people test small changes that can affect mood and behavior. The work often includes skill-building, problem-solving, and tracking progress over time.
Caroline practices in Utah and meets with English-speaking clients. If someone is considering starting, she guides them through a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see what makes sense next.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and building a collaborative relationship. Online sessions using this approach let someone talk through what matters most while the therapist helps clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; online CBT often includes homework and simple tracking between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be taught and practiced in remote appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide together which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may mean trying different strategies and adjusting plans over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or health needs. Remote appointments can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use tools like worksheets or recorded skills practice between meetings to reinforce what was learned.
