About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to make the first step toward change less daunting. He offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, mood concerns, anxiety, and related struggles. Matteo emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere so people can say what they really feel and think.
With 24 years of practice in New York, Matteo draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. He uses Client-Centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person in the room. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and to try small, practical changes.
Matteo blends Motivational Interviewing to support anyone feeling stuck about change, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. He keeps sessions focused and goal-oriented while still making room for deeper reflection when it helps.
People often come to him for help with stress, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, or the effects of long-term caregiving and chronic illness. He also addresses issues such as codependency, attachment and relationship patterns, and the impact of major life transitions.
His style is direct but compassionate. Matteo works with each person on clear steps they can try between meetings and checks progress together. To begin, clients complete an initial match questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on timing that works for them.
Approaches to Online Therapy and How They Help
Matteo often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and helps surface the issues they most want to change.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress because it breaks concerns into manageable steps and practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matteo will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they pick and adjust methods so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people take a session from a quieter space. Matteo will discuss which session rhythm and format best fit the individual's routine and goals.
