About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 17 years of experience licensed in Ohio. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people struggling with parenting, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, and caregiver or chronic illness stress.
Her style is gentle and interactive. Jacqueline listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most.
Background and approach
She helps people find practical strategies they can try between sessions. Techniques might include guided exercises, writing, or creative activities when those fit a person’s needs. Jacqueline has worked in settings that focused on complex trauma, grief, and disability.
That background informs how she approaches layered problems and co-occurring issues. She draws on a mix of therapy methods rather than relying on a single formula. Her approaches include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
She uses these to help people change unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions, build new habits, and set realistic goals. Jacqueline aims to collaborate on a plan that fits each person’s situation. Sessions are practical and paced to what each person can handle.
She invites open conversation about goals and priorities so progress feels meaningful and manageable.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers empathetic feedback, and helps set goals that feel useful. This approach suits people wanting a supportive space to explore concerns and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors where changing patterns can make daily life easier.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. These tools can help when feelings feel overwhelming or conflicts keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She collaborates with each person to try methods that fit and adjusts as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These formats make it easier to meet from home, handle short check-ins, or use different ways of communicating when speaking aloud is hard. The variety gives flexibility so people can choose what works best for their life and their therapy goals.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
