About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 17 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She has supported clients dealing with relationship and family concerns, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, attention-related issues, and difficulties with sleep, eating, self-esteem, and career transitions. Her background includes work in agencies focused on complex trauma, grief, and disability-related care.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, interactive style that prioritizes listening and collaboration. Jacqueline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor practical strategies to each person.

She often integrates creative activities such as journaling, art, or music when they fit a client's preferences. Jacqueline describes her counseling as gentle and engaged, emphasizing teamwork to uncover underlying patterns and develop coping tools that make sense for an individual's life.

She invites prospective clients to connect for a conversation about their goals and to explore whether her mix of methods and lived experience is a good match for their needs.

How Jacqueline’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy



Jacqueline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT often includes practical exercises and homework to apply new skills to everyday situations. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and the therapist's nonjudgmental presence to help people explore their feelings and arrive at their own solutions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are incorporated when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Jacqueline works with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust techniques over time so the plan remains meaningful and relevant to their life circumstances.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while using approaches like CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills in ways that suit the client’s routine and comfort.
