About Jill
Jill McCabe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship conflict, and life changes. Her style is warm, direct, and practical so people can start making small changes quickly.
She has worked with many people who have experienced trauma, emotional abuse, and addiction-related strain. Jill also supports those coping with sleep problems, career questions, caregiving burdens, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her background includes guiding people through divorce, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment problems. Jill blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness practices. She uses talk therapy that helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and manage overwhelming thoughts.
She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when helpful to explore meaning and personal values. Sessions emphasize practical tools and clear goals. Jill listens for what matters most and tailors each plan to a person’s daily life.
She aims to make therapy useful between sessions so coping skills and decisions feel easier at home and work. People choose her when they want steady, experienced guidance and straightforward strategies for anxiety, addiction-related stress, relationship problems, and big life transitions. Jill works in English and practices from New York, bringing long-term experience to each conversation.
Approaches that fit online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people can find their own answers; online sessions allow that conversational work to continue when life is busy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which works well in video or phone sessions where skills and homework can be reviewed together. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and breathing or grounding exercises that can be practiced and coached over live chat, phone, or video.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jill collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily routines. She will talk about what feels useful, try techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits how someone lives and copes between sessions.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in or get brief guidance between appointments. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
