About Caroline
Caroline Schnarrs is a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades in the helping professions. She focuses on parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and family issues, and many related struggles. Caroline practices in Utah and brings practical support for people facing life changes and caregiving strain.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She treats people with respect and listens first. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and goal focused so parents and individuals can use strategies right away.
Background and approach
Caroline draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused methods, dialectical behavior ideas, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her tailor sessions to a person’s needs - from building coping skills to shifting unhelpful thoughts and finding small steps that lead to change. She has worked in community settings with people facing homelessness, addiction, and serious life transitions.
That experience informs a practical, nonjudgmental approach to complex problems like blended family conflict, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and communication breakdowns. Sessions focus on clear, achievable goals. Caroline helps people identify patterns, practice new responses, and strengthen what’s already working.
Her aim is to support steady progress so clients can better manage parenting demands, relationship strains, mood symptoms, and daily stressors.

How practical therapy methods work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects feelings, and helps people name what matters. This approach is useful for parenting stress, relationship struggles, and building motivation to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific tools to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, impulse control, and coping with life changes.
Caroline will work with clients to find the best mix of approaches. She treats the choice of methods as a partnership, adjusting based on each person’s goals, preferences, and response to work in sessions. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy parents and people with complex schedules. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions and live chat work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into family life, caregiving routines, and shifting days.
