Matteo Capaccio, LCSW

Matteo Capaccio is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of practice in New York. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and life changes. Matteo creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings without judgment.

He focuses on listening first. Sessions start by identifying what matters most to the person and setting small, clear goals. Matteo uses straightforward methods to help people manage stress, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

Matteo blends several approaches depending on the person in front of him. He draws on client-centered work to follow the client's lead. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change.

When trauma or long-term patterns are present, Matteo brings in psychodynamic thinking to look at how past relationships influence current feelings. Solution-focused ideas are used to map out practical next steps and measure progress. This mix aims to be practical and easy to use in daily life.

He welcomes direct questions about therapy style and process. People interested in beginning work can expect a clear discussion about goals and a plan tailored to their needs. Matteo stresses collaboration and steady support through change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Matteo often uses client-centered work, which means sessions begin by following the person's concerns and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the work around their goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing small changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Matteo will talk with the person about goals, test what helps, and adjust methods as needed. He aims to build a plan together that fits the client's life and addresses immediate problems as well as longer-term patterns.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about available session options when you sign up. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work while managing caregiving, work, or health-related demands.
