About Jill

Jill McCabe is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with 25 years of experience. She works with people seeking relief from depression, anxiety, and stress. She also helps with parenting challenges, relationship and communication problems, career decisions, and major life changes.

Many clients come with trauma, abuse, or addiction concerns. Jill has supported people coping with PTSD, physical injury, and emotional harm. She also offers help to family members caring for someone with serious mental health or addiction issues, and she lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.

Jill draws on several approaches to shape therapy to each person. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters to the individual, cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, and mindfulness to build calm focus. She also integrates existential and Jungian ideas when they fit a person’s concerns.

She adapts the conversation and plan to the needs of each person. Jill frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Jill speaks English and practices in New York as an LMHC. The first step is completing the platform questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person’s timing and goals.

How Jill’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jill uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, helping them set goals and steer sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she draws on to help people build attention and calmness in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jill will collaborate with the person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on how the client responds and what feels most helpful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and let someone join from wherever they are that day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and for choosing audio-only times if video is not convenient. Jill will discuss the practical setup and timing when arranging sessions.
