Matteo Capaccio, LCSW

Matteo Capaccio is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. He helps people who are facing addiction, trauma, grief, mood changes, anxiety, stress, and related concerns. Matteo focuses on practical conversation and steady support so people can take the next step toward feeling better.

He creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and identify small, doable changes. Matteo uses talk-based methods to help clients understand patterns and try new ways of responding to stress and mood shifts.

Matteo draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build working collaboration. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and teach concrete coping skills. Motivational Interviewing helps when clients feel stuck or unsure about change.

Across sessions he focuses on goals that matter to each person, whether that is managing sleep, handling anger, navigating caregiver strain, or working through loss. He pays attention to how life events, chronic illness, or aging-related concerns affect daily routines and mood.

Based in New York, Matteo brings steady experience to sensitive topics like abandonment, attachment issues, and complex grief. He invites people to begin with one honest conversation and see if the approach feels right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Matteo uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening-focused space where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach helps people name what matters and feel heard before planning next steps.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete coping skills. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and for changing patterns that feed stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods that suit the issue and the client's pace.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins between busy days, and remove commute time so sessions fit into regular routines. Licensed professionals can adapt talk-based approaches like Client-Centered Therapy and CBT to work well in remote formats when the method fits the client's needs and circumstances.
