About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 17 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and life changes. She works with people managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma, and caregiving strain. Her approach is steady and person-focused, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She takes a gentle, interactive stance in sessions. Jacqueline listens first and then helps people try strategies that fit their lives.
Background and approach
That can mean simple behavioral steps, practicing new ways to handle strong feelings, or using writing and art to notice patterns. Jacqueline has a background working in agencies with complex trauma and disability services. That experience shaped how she thinks about layered problems and long-term stress.
She brings patience and flexibility to each conversation. She draws on several treatment styles, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to break down overwhelming problems into manageable tasks and clearer choices.
Jacqueline often pairs listening with concrete tools such as grounding skills, thought restructuring, pacing strategies for caregiving, and skills to reduce impulsive reactions. Sessions can include journaling prompts, simple behavioral experiments, or short skills practice. People in Ohio can work with her by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time.
Her work aims to help people build steady routines and clearer ways to handle strong emotions.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Jacqueline commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes in behavior. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems because it creates small steps people can try between sessions. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high. DBT-style skills are often useful for impulsivity and managing intense moods.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT, DBT skills, and mindfulness practices until something fits and feels useful.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls work well for longer sessions and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection or quick coping reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain consistency.
