About Matteo
Matteo Capaccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 24 years of experience. He helps adults who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, health, or who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or addiction. Matteo lists life purpose among his areas of focus and works with clients on career questions and self-esteem concerns.
He prefers straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now and on practical steps toward clearer decisions. Matteo uses a mix of approaches so a person can try different ways of working and see what fits.
In practice he draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what clients are noticing about themselves. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns of thinking and to test small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels conflicted about change or relapse. Psychodynamic ideas are used to connect current habits to past experiences when that helps.
People bring issues such as trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver stress, or problems with anger and sleep. He also addresses relationship-related struggles like attachment and communication problems without offering couples or family sessions. Matteo works with concerns around kinks and alternative sex culture in an individual therapy setting.
His practice emphasizes clear, practical conversation about next steps rather than promises. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Matteo uses specific approaches in remote work
Matteo commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in his work. Client-Centered Therapy is about careful listening and reflecting back what a person notices about their thoughts and feelings; it helps when someone needs a clearer sense of their priorities. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers experiments to test small changes for issues like anxiety, sleep, and mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving mixed feelings about change and can help when someone is uncertain about stopping an addictive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Matteo will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That means the plan can shift over time as a person learns what helps and what does not.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. They also allow using CBT exercises and motivational conversations without needing to be in the same room, while psychodynamic reflections can continue across remote sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to the practical constraints of remote appointments.
