   About Jacqueline

   Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 17 years of clinical experience in Ohio. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and challenges related to caregiving, chronic illness, or disability. Jacqui works in a calm, interactive way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

   She has worked at a range of agencies supporting people with complex trauma and with disabilities. That background informs an approach that pays attention to how life events, health, and relationships affect day-to-day functioning. She uses practical skills to address sleeping, eating, and mood problems as well as coping with big life changes.

   Jacqui blends listening with active tools. She draws on Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to match techniques to the person in front of her. Sessions might include journaling, art, or music when those methods feel useful.

   Her sessions emphasize collaboration and finding small changes that fit each person’s life. She aims to help clients notice what’s getting in the way, try new strategies, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Jacqui invites prospective clients to reach out and talk about goals before scheduling.

   She holds an Ohio LISW and offers services in English. People who want to begin can use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

2. Approaches to change and growth online

   Jacqui often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore ambivalence and find reasons to try new behaviors. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and daily functioning.
   
   Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqui will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust over time. She emphasizes practical steps and checks in on how coping strategies are working between meetings.
   
   Confirm the available session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific online formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to learn which session arrangements will best fit your routine and goals.
