About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 24 years of professional experience. He sees adults facing issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and stress. Matteo also lists blended family issues among his areas of focus.
Matteo aims for clear, practical conversations. He listens to what matters most and helps people name problems and priorities. Sessions tend to focus on immediate concerns as well as the patterns that keep problems recurring.
He uses a mix of approaches depending on the person and the issue. That can mean working from a client-centered stance to follow what the person brings, using cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or drawing on psychodynamic ideas to understand long-running patterns. Solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing are also part of the toolkit when a brief, goal-oriented plan is helpful.
People often come for help with stress, disrupted sleep, anger, low self-esteem, or difficulties tied to life transitions and caregiving. Matteo also lists ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and communication problems among concerns he addresses. He discusses options clearly and helps people pick practical next steps.
When preparation is useful, he works with clients to set small, achievable goals and track progress. Matteo asks about routine, supports, and what has helped before. That lets sessions stay practical and grounded in everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Matteo combines several common approaches so work online can be direct and practical. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person brings to the session and follows their priorities, which helps when someone needs time to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and find their own reasons to change, which can be useful for addictions and stages of change.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Matteo will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they will try methods that match the presenting problem and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter scheduled check-ins, reduce travel time, and allow people to join from another location when that fits their schedule. The therapist will discuss how sessions are arranged and what practical steps help you get the most from remote work.
