Caroline Schmidt, MSW, LCSW

Caroline Schmidt is a therapist at St. Louis DBT LLC. Caroline pecializes in helping my clients create behavioral change. She loves helping her clients find down to earth, practical solutions that work for their unique circumstances. She is also a huge advocate for balancing compassionate gravity with connection and play. Regardless of if your mission is to challenge perfectionism, develop greater intimacy in relationships, or get self-sabotaging behaviors in check, Caroline would love to work together! She promises to show up as her authentic self in sessions, and her hope is that this will help you feel safe to show up as yours.

PS: If you’re not into the idea of sitting still on the couch for a full hour of therapy, no worries! Caroline offers clients the opportunity to do walking sessions outside, and she keeps art materials in her office to engage with during sessions for some extra stimulation.
