Caroline Schnarrs, LCSW

Caroline Schnarrs is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Utah with 23 years of experience in the helping professions. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship and family concerns, including blended family issues. Her focus also includes parenting challenges, grief, anger, ADHD, caregiver stress, and chronic illness or pain.

Caroline’s style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first and then helps people name problems and set practical goals. Sessions are conversational and aim to build skills people can use between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies. That means she pays attention to how people describe their lives, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and supports small, achievable steps forward. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels stalled or when someone is unsure where to begin.

In practice she often helps people manage life transitions like separation or divorce, navigate co-parenting dilemmas, and adjust to new blended household roles. She also works with issues tied to family of origin, forgiveness, guilt, and isolation. Sessions tend to focus on clear strategies for coping and communication.

Caroline draws on long experience in community settings and with people facing homelessness, mental health needs, and addiction. That background informs a practical, no-nonsense approach to problem solving. She encourages clients to try small changes and track what helps in daily life.
