Jacqueline Scolaro, LISW

Jacqueline Scolaro is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and major life changes, and also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to ADHD and bipolar conditions.

Her approach is conversational and practical. She favors listening first, then helping people spot what lies beneath their reactions. From there she uses methods that fit the person, including cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Jacqueline has worked in a range of agencies serving people with complex trauma and disabilities. That background informs how she handles complicated grief, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and co-occurring problems like chronic pain and isolation. She describes her style as interactive rather than directive, so clients take part in shaping goals and steps.

Sessions may include talking, journaling, or creative exercises such as music or art when that helps someone make sense of feelings. She also notes that sometimes change begins when a small observation opens up a bigger insight, and therapy techniques then help organize thought and feeling.

Jacqueline uses straightforward tools and steady listening to help people manage anger, impulsivity, communication problems, and relationship strain. Her background with hospice, end-of-life care, hoarding, and intellectual disability gives added experience for complex situations where multiple issues overlap.
