Caroline Schnarrs, LCSW

Caroline Schnarrs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years in the helping professions and 15 years holding a clinical social work license in Utah. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Caroline also supports people dealing with addiction, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting strain, and issues tied to attention and mood regulation.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, along with client-centered techniques and solution-focused strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and motivational interviewing are also used when helpful. Sessions are collaborative and focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses, and building workable skills for daily life.

Caroline’s background includes work with people facing homelessness, addiction, and severe family conflict. That experience shaped how she prioritizes concrete strategies and clear steps in therapy. She aims to help people identify patterns that keep problems active and then try different, manageable ways of responding.

In practical terms, Caroline works with problem lists like anger, intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career-related stress. She also addresses family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, hoarding and impulsivity, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. The focus is on short-term tools and longer-term skills depending on the situation.

People who choose her often want structured work that connects thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Her sessions tend to include goal-setting, behavioral experiments, and concrete communication strategies. Caroline practices in Utah and conducts therapy in English.
