Jill McCabe

Jill McCabe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career doubts, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma, addiction in a loved one, grief, sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Jill meets people where they are and focuses on practical conversations. Sessions look at what is happening now and what can be done next. She draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and help clients name priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, testable changes.

She also brings existential and Jungian ideas into session when it fits the concern. Those approaches are used to examine meaning, values, and recurring life patterns. Mindfulness practices may be introduced to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stress.

Jill has worked with people from many backgrounds over a long career. That experience informs how she approaches complex family situations, blended families, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She is familiar with grief after loss and the practical challenges of chronic illness and aging.

Her style is interactive and solution-focused. Conversations are respectful and direct. To begin, clients are asked about immediate struggles and realistic next steps so work can move forward in each session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their priorities and make decisions that feel right to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and changing habits by trying out small experiments and new ways of thinking.

Existential therapy can be used to talk about values, purpose, and meaning when life feels uncertain. It supports people who are questioning career direction or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit goals, needs, and what feels manageable. That choice can shift over time as new priorities appear.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Discuss session length and practical arrangements during the first appointment so sessions fit into everyday life.
