About Jill

Jill McCabe is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and existential influences to help people address anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and the stresses of major life transitions. Her practice emphasizes practical skills for coping with sleeping problems, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, and compassion fatigue while attending to underlying patterns that sustain distress.

Her style is described as warm and interactive, focused on respect and sensitivity rather than labels. Jill has supported individuals facing relationship and family difficulties, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving burdens, chronic illness, and a range of attachment and communication struggles.

She also works with people affected by abuse, PTSD, and disruptive mood concerns, tailoring conversations and treatment strategies to each person’s circumstances. Across long-term and short-term concerns she blends evidence-informed techniques with mindfulness and narrative elements to build insight and promote concrete change.

Jill partners with clients to develop individualized plans that reflect their goals, resources, and life context, meeting people where they are while encouraging steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Jill commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space so clients can explore feelings and make choices aligned with their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Jill treats it as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, adapting plans over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing care and apply therapeutic tools in the context of everyday life, supporting continuity and convenience for people managing busy or changing circumstances.
