Matteo Capaccio

Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He focuses on helping people who struggle with anger and related difficulties such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and trouble sleeping. Matteo aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for someone who is worried or unsure.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are aimed at understanding what drives anger and other reactions, and at finding ways to reduce distress in daily life. Matteo emphasizes clear communication and practical steps that people can use between sessions.

With 24 years of professional work experience, Matteo draws on several well-known methods to shape therapy. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the client's perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps when clients feel stuck or unsure about change, and Psychodynamic ideas are used to explore longer-standing patterns.

People who come for grief, trauma, bipolar-related struggles, or compassion fatigue find a steady, listening partner in him. Matteo also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, and workplace or career strain. He meets people where they are and helps them set realistic, concrete goals.

Matteo offers sessions in English and practices in New York. He encourages those ready to start to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own goals and perspective. In practice that means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them shape sessions around their priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small experiments to change them; it is often useful for anger, anxiety, sleep, and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Matteo will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean starting with gentle, client-centered conversations and adding CBT tools or motivational interviewing when a more focused plan feels helpful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, letting people schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that better matches a week, and it removes travel time so people can focus on practical skill work between sessions.
