About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 17 years of clinical experience based in Ohio. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief, depression, trauma, and a wide mix of life challenges. Her manner is calm and interactive, and she focuses on practical ways to cope and move forward.
Jacqueline has worked in multiple agency settings and with people who have complex trauma and disabilities. That background shapes how she approaches sessions - attentive listening paired with techniques that fit each person.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. Sessions tend to be collaborative. Jacqueline emphasizes understanding what matters to the person first, then trying strategies that can make everyday life easier.
She may use journaling, art, or music to help people notice patterns in thinking and feeling. Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful. Jacqueline also supports concerns that often come with long-term stress, such as caregiver strain, chronic illness, sleep and eating problems, and issues around identity and relationships.
She works to identify practical steps a person can take between sessions to build new habits and reduce distress. People who choose Jacqueline can expect an approach that balances listening with concrete tools. Her focus is on helping people understand their struggles and testing manageable changes that fit their routines and goals.
Approaches that guide online sessions and what they do
Jacqueline uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities, then shaping sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense feelings, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are chosen to match the issues someone brings and to give clear techniques people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative effort. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest strategies to try. If something doesn’t fit, she adjusts the plan together with the person so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session that resembles an in-person visit. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or times with limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility to make therapy fit a busy life.
