About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio brings 24 years of clinical experience to his New York practice and focuses on a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Background and approach
He creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings and life transitions, and he encourages people to take the first courageous step toward a more balanced and satisfying life. Matteo practices from a strengths-based, client-centered stance while integrating practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused techniques.
This blend allows him to tailor sessions to each person's needs, whether addressing stress, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, or complex co-occurring issues. He works with clients to set realistic goals and develop strategies that fit their values and daily realities.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Matteo uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's perspective, building a respectful, empathic environment where clients' goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people explore emotions and make changes at their own pace.He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach concrete coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and stress. Motivational interviewing is another tool he draws on to support readiness for change, particularly in areas such as addictions and behavior change, by strengthening personal motivation and commitment.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process; the therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This shared process helps ensure the methods align with the client's preferences and life context.
Online therapy with Matteo is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow the therapeutic work to continue even when in-person sessions are not practical.
