Jacqueline Scolaro

Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 17 years of clinical experience in Ohio. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and life changes. She also supports those navigating relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, workplace strain, ADHD, and caregiving burdens.

Her way of working is gentle and interactive. She listens first, then helps people find practical strategies that fit their lives. Sessions may include talking, journaling, art, or music depending on what feels right for the person.

Jacqueline has a long history working with complex trauma, grief, and people with disabilities. That background helps her recognize how physical health, chronic pain, or caregiving pressures can shape mood and coping. She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Her main approaches include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to help manage emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and build coping skills for everyday life.

Jacqueline invites people to work together to set goals and try different ways of handling problems until something clicks. She encourages small steps and practical tools that can be used outside sessions. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

Approaches that translate well to remote care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist and client to set goals together, which works well in conversations over distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it offers clear exercises people can practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills are often helpful for strong mood shifts, impulsivity, and relationship tension and can be taught through coaching-style conversations and skill practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adapt techniques over time if something isn’t working. The process is iterative and guided by what the client finds most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. Ask about the session rhythm and scheduling to find arrangements that fit with work, caregiving, or health needs.
