Geralynn Barney, LCSW

Geralynn Barney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, codependency, relationship shifts, and the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Sessions address everyday pressures as well as deeper life changes and loss.

Geralynn uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, achievable steps forward.

In sessions she listens for concrete problems and workable changes. Conversations include practicing new boundary statements, testing different reactions, and planning safer ways to cope during a crisis. She often gives short exercises to try between meetings so people can practice skills in real life.

Geralynn has worked with many people navigating LGBTQ+ concerns, parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, illness and chronic pain, and career pressures. She also supports those dealing with trauma, domestic violence, shame, and communication problems. Her background emphasizes trauma-informed care without promising any single outcome.
