About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of practice based in New York. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, anger, and stress. Matteo aims to make the first step feel doable and supports practical changes over time.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions invite honest conversation about feelings, behaviors, and patterns that make life harder.
Background and approach
Matteo listens closely and helps clients set clear, manageable goals. His approach blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means sessions can include exploring underlying issues, learning new ways to respond to upsetting thoughts, and finding motivation to change behaviors.
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas when it helps to understand longer-term patterns. Matteo has worked across a wide range of concerns, including sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and chronic illness. He also supports people coping with loss, abandonment, communication challenges, and other complex stressors.
People who choose him often want straightforward, practical steps along with deeper conversation about causes. He helps clients break big problems into smaller actions and checks in on progress. The goal is to make daily life more manageable and more in line with what the person wants.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Matteo commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and reflecting what the person says, helping people feel heard and understood so they can decide what changes matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety, anger, or sleep problems.He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That approach is collaborative and works well when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. Matteo will work together with each person to pick approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one method suits everyone.
Online therapy allows sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging options offer shorter check-ins or a written way to process between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
