About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Scolaro is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other life changes. Jacqueline also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career worries, and feelings of isolation.
Her approach is straightforward and interactive. She uses listening first, then helps clients try tools that make sense for their life. Jacqueline draws on client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas when helpful.
Jacqueline has worked in a range of agency settings, often with people facing complex trauma and with people who have disabilities. That background informs how she plans sessions and what practical steps she suggests. She may include art, journaling, or music as ways to notice thoughts and feelings.
In sessions she aims to identify what sits at the core of a problem and then test small changes. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person. The focus is on real-world strategies you can use between meetings.
She provides services in English and practices in Ohio. For people considering therapy, Jacqueline asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the fit feels.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person you are, rather than fitting you into a plan. It helps people feel heard and choose what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT skills, DBT techniques, or a mix fits best. That decision is based on goals, current problems, and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats also let people choose quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth options, or times that work around school or work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like CBT worksheets or DBT skills practice to an online meeting so the work continues between sessions.
