About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio makes a first meeting simple and direct. He focuses on helping people who are coping with addiction, trauma, grief, mood shifts, anxiety, and stress. Matteo keeps conversations straightforward and nonjudgmental so people can talk about what feels most pressing.
He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with 24 years of professional experience. Sessions start by identifying the problem someone wants to change and the small steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
Matteo draws on practical techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Matteo uses a few different therapy approaches depending on the need. He blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral work and motivational interviewing to help with substance use and habit change.
He also brings psychodynamic ideas when it helps to look at long-standing patterns tied to earlier relationships. In sessions, he helps clients set concrete goals and practice skills between meetings. This might mean trying a new coping strategy, testing a small behavior change, or talking through difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable.
People often come for addictions, anger, sleep problems, or to manage a major life change like grief, illness, or caregiver stress. Matteo can help with self-esteem, career stress, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue from caregiving work. He prioritizes clear communication and steady, practical steps toward change.
When someone is ready to begin, he works with them to shape a plan that fits their daily life and learning style. The emphasis is on useful, doable work rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Matteo frequently uses client-centered work to build trust and open conversation. This approach focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps when someone is dealing with grief, stress, or low self-esteem.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and managing mood swings. Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses for substance use and behavior change; it helps people clarify goals and increase their own reasons for change.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Matteo will talk with a person about their goals, try out methods that match those goals, and adjust over time. The plan evolves based on what works and what feels comfortable for the client.
Online therapy with him uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
