About Matteo

Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 24 years of professional experience. He works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and bipolar disorder. Matteo focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier in daily life.

He keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations emphasize what is happening now and what can change. Matteo uses talking, reflection, and concrete strategies to reduce distress and increase coping skills.

Matteo draws from client-centered work to follow the person’s priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits but feel stuck.

He combines those approaches with psychodynamic ideas when early relationships and patterns still affect current choices. Solution-focused methods are used when short-term, goal-oriented work is helpful, for example around sleep, stress, or career decisions.

Sessions aim to be practical and routine-friendly. Matteo encourages small, doable steps between meetings. He also helps people recognize patterns that keep problems repeating and offers alternatives they can try in everyday life.

BHow sessions work

How Matteo’s approaches translate to remote work

Matteo uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the person and on hearing their experience. This helps set priorities for remote sessions and keeps work grounded in daily concerns.

He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to test small changes between meetings. CBT suits problems like anxiety, sleep difficulties, and mood shifts where concrete exercises can be practiced outside sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Matteo works collaboratively to decide whether a client-centered, CBT, or motivational interviewing focus is best for their goals. He adjusts methods based on how well techniques fit the person’s needs and routines.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or health demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and let people use therapies that rely on written exercises or step-by-step plans without travel.
