About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 17 years of clinical experience supporting people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and related challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

She has worked across agencies with clients facing complex trauma, disability-related issues, grief, and a wide range of mood and interpersonal concerns. Jacqueline brings an attentive, person-focused stance that prioritizes listening and collaboration to help clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings.

Her therapeutic manner blends practical skills with reflective exploration. She draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, DBT-informed tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and client-centered approaches that let each person’s goals guide the process.

Jacqueline also weaves creative outlets such as journaling, art, or music into sessions when useful, and tailors interventions to the unique needs of each individual. She invites prospective clients to begin with a conversation to determine fit and next steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate to Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s priorities guide the work; this approach supports exploring personal values, relationships, and sources of distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is goal-oriented and practical, teaching skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more adaptive patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are particularly useful when intense emotions or impulsivity are present.

Deciding which method feels right is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, preferences, and life context and suggest approaches or a blend of techniques to try. Sessions can be adjusted as progress is assessed so the plan remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy provides flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules or manage mobility and transportation challenges. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer skill-building, reflective work, and practical strategies in ways that adapt to a client’s needs and daily life.
