Matteo Capaccio , LCSW

Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 24 years of professional experience. He has extensive experience supporting people who are coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and bipolar disorder.

Matteo emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental approach that invites clients to share thoughts and feelings honestly. He works collaboratively to create a therapeutic space where concerns can be explored and practical steps toward change can be developed.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Matteo offers steady support throughout that process. His aim is to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and move toward goals that matter to them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Matteo draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client’s own goals, creating space for exploration and emotional processing. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people strengthen their own motivation for change, often used when facing ambivalence about behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Matteo works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques as treatment progresses. This collaboration helps shape a plan that feels achievable and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with Matteo includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, supporting continuity of care even when in-person visits are difficult.
