Jacqueline Scolaro, LISW

Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 17 years of clinical experience. She has worked across a range of agencies serving people facing complex trauma, grief, and disabilities, and she brings that breadth of practice to each therapeutic relationship. Over the years she has supported clients dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, social interaction challenges, personality disorders, career transitions, and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach to counseling is described as gentle and interactive, centered on collaboration to identify practical strategies and solutions that fit each person and situation. Jacqueline integrates evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside broader psychotherapeutic methods and experiential supports like equine-assisted work when appropriate. Despite this variety of techniques, she emphasizes attentive listening and genuine engagement as the foundation for change.

Jacqueline values creative expression and individualized methods - art, journaling, or music may surface insight for some clients - and she tailors interventions to what resonates most with each person. She welcomes the chance to connect and accompany individuals through transitions and healing, offering steady support as they explore what lies at the heart of their challenges.

Client-Centered and Skills-Based Care for Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy invites clients to set the pace and focus of sessions, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the clients own goals; it helps people who need a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and tools, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jacqueline works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time and adapts them to each persons strengths and circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to receive consistent support without geographic limits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from familiar settings.
