Caroline Schnarrs
Hello! My name is Caroline, and I have held a license in clinical social work for 15 years; and have been in the helping profession for over 20 years. Currently, I am practicing in the State of Utah; however, prior to this, I lived and worked in the great State of Michigan. I have served families and individuals experiencing homelessness; mental health concerns; addictions; family conflict; and other significant life events. I have always been proud to serve in my profession; I am continuously humbled and impressed by the strength and resiliency of the human spirit. My counseling style is warm and collaborative. We are in this journey together; and I firmly believe in the importance of the therapeutic alliance. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect, and recognize that it is a gift when someone commits to sharing their story with me. My counseling approach combines cognitive-behavioral; client-centered; solution focused; and motivational interviewing counseling styles. I believe the way that we think about ourselves directly impacts how we view and participate in the world around us. A change in perspective can encourage light in seemingly dark places. Change is never easy, but I believe that you have the tools and drive to change anything you desire. Congratulations on taking the first steps toward positive change in your life. I look forward to the opportunity to encourage, support, and empower you!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some commonly asked questions can be found below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
How do I know if I should get a therapist?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Utah can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy safe?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
