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 manage anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and life changes. Her style is approachable and respectful, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use day to day.

Jill uses Existential therapy alongside client-centered listening to help people clarify values and find meaning in difficult situations. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address stressful thoughts, sleep problems, and mood symptoms.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and aimed at identifying patterns that get in the way of feeling better. She has worked with people facing trauma, emotional abuse, caregiving stress, and complicated grief. Jill also offers support for parenting challenges, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and career transitions.

She pays attention to both immediate coping needs and longer-term goals. Jill emphasizes collaboration when making a plan for therapy. She avoids labels that shame and instead focuses on clear goals and small, doable steps.

That might include practice exercises between sessions, brief skills training, or reframing thoughts that fuel anxiety. Her approach is flexible, combining Jungian perspectives and motivational interviewing when those fit a person's needs. Jill aims to create a calm, steady space where people can tackle hard problems and build habits that support everyday functioning.

How Existential, Client-Centered, and CBT Work Online

Existential therapy helps people consider what matters most and how to live in line with those values; it can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by life changes, or uncertain about their direction. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and reflecting back a person's experience so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jill will work collaboratively to tune the method to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and values exploration, then adding CBT techniques or mindfulness exercises when concrete skills are helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing coaching, quick skill practice, or brief reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
