About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 17 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, codependency, ADHD, chronic illness, and other difficult life challenges. Her tone is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to listen first and respond with practical next steps.
Jacqueline has worked across agencies where complex trauma, grief, and disability-related concerns were central. That background means she is familiar with layered problems and long-term stress. She supports people who are coping with loss, career setbacks, changes in health, and struggles with self-esteem or isolation.
Her counseling style is gentle and interactive. She emphasizes listening and building a plan together. Techniques she uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
Jacqueline often blends talking with creative activities such as journaling, art, or music when that fits a person's way of expressing themselves. She stays focused on finding what is at the core of a problem, then uses techniques to make thoughts and feelings easier to understand and manage.
She invites a collaborative approach where the client’s goals guide the work. To begin, the reader is encouraged to use the site’s matching process to connect and schedule a first session.
How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with overwhelming stress or strong mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods match a client’s goals and preferences. She may combine listening, skills-based exercises, and creative tools like journaling so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuing therapy during health changes or relocation, and therapists can adapt exercises and homework to fit a person's daily routine.
