About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 24 years of experience. He helps people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and bipolar disorder. He also works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career strain.
Matteo uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. He listens for recurring thoughts and behaviors and then tests practical alternatives. Sessions aim to be clear and focused so people can try different ways of responding between meetings.
His background includes long-term clinical work across a range of issues. That experience informs how he blends techniques that fit the person in front of him. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps when they suit the problem.
In practice he helps people set small, measurable goals. Together they track what happens and adjust plans that aren’t working. Conversations may cover coping skills, managing mood swings, handling triggers, and improving day-to-day routines like sleep and work habits.
Matteo keeps language direct and practical so parents and other busy adults can understand next steps quickly. He works in English and bases his approach on real-world needs rather than abstract models. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Matteo commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods when working with mood, anxiety, and addiction-related concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to see what makes a practical difference. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting so people can state their goals and priorities in their own words.He also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and to build commitment to specific steps. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making a change, such as reducing substance use or improving sleep habits. Matteo treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Matteo frames sessions around measurable goals and practical homework you can try between meetings to see real-world effects.
