Jacqueline Scolaro, LISW

Jacqueline Scolaro is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 17 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family concerns. Jacqueline also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and issues around self-esteem and career change.

Her approach is conversational and interactive. She listens first and then helps people try different strategies that fit their life. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational techniques.

Jacqueline has worked in a range of agencies serving people with complex trauma and disabilities. That experience shapes how she notices patterns in thinking, behavior, and relationships. She pays attention to how grief, chronic stress, or caregiving demands affect day-to-day coping.

In practical terms she uses simple exercises, journaling, and sometimes creative activities to help people name feelings and test new ways of responding. Therapy can focus on symptom management, improving communication, or sorting through life changes.

People who come for help with social anxiety or phobia can expect clear steps and practice-focused conversations about difficult situations. Jacqueline aims to help people build skills for handling meetings, social interactions, work challenges, and other situations that feel overwhelming.

To begin she asks about current concerns and goals, then works collaboratively to choose strategies to try between sessions. The pace is set by each person’s comfort and needs.
