About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 17 years of practice in Ohio who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and sleep difficulties. She supports those facing trauma, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and caregiver stress. Jacqueline also addresses issues like chronic illness, isolation, and self-esteem in everyday, straightforward ways.

Her counseling style is gentle and interactive. She listens first and then works together with each person to find practical steps that fit their life. Sessions may include simple exercises, journaling, art, or talking through patterns that show up day to day. Jacqueline prefers approaches that help people notice what they think and feel and then try new ways of coping.

Jacqueline draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the session focused on the person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing may appear when they match a person's goals and pace.

Her background includes work in agencies serving people with complex trauma, grief, and disabilities. That experience shapes how she tailors support to struggles that overlap, like chronic pain with depression or caregiving stress with anxiety. Jacqueline aims for clear, manageable steps rather than clinical jargon.

People who choose her often want a calm, collaborative space to sort through hard moments. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect a person with the right time to start therapy.

How Jacqueline’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's goals and experience at the center of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and adapting the pace so the person feels heard and understood, which helps when sorting out stress, grief, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple, structured exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, a useful fit for anxiety, mood changes, and sleep problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can help people who struggle with strong reactions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjust based on how things go. That means setting clear, realistic goals together and checking in about what is helpful.

If you prefer online care, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, communication style, and day-to-day needs to find a practical plan.
