Jill McCabe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the upheaval that comes with big life changes.

Over her career she has also supported people facing trauma and abuse, PTSD, and long-term health challenges.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead and responds to what matters most in their life. This approach helps when someone needs an empathic space to talk through grief, midlife concerns, relationship stress, or parenting struggles.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing addictive behaviors because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practical skills.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can be used alongside other approaches to ease stress, improve sleep, and support coping with trauma or chronic illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something is not working.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health demands, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and exercises that fit everyday life.
