About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with 24 years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, and stress. He also addresses sleep problems, low self-esteem, and work-related concerns.
Matteo focuses on open conversation. He encourages people to name what they feel and what sets off their anger. Sessions look at how thoughts, habits, and relationships keep patterns going and what practical steps might reduce outbursts and resentment.
He uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused strategies. That variety lets him help people identify triggers, try small changes, and track what works over time.
Matteo has worked across many presenting concerns beyond anger. His background includes trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency, and issues related to attachment and abandonment. He also supports people dealing with career strain and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conducted in English in New York. People who are considering therapy are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Matteo often uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can clarify their feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active and teaches concrete strategies to change them. Motivational interviewing helps someone find their own reasons to try new ways of responding and to build small, sustainable steps toward change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matteo aims to help clients and the therapist decide together which methods suit the person's goals and circumstances. That makes sessions practical and focused on what someone wants to change, whether that's fewer outbursts, less rumination, or better sleep.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time so work or caregiving duties are easier to manage.
