About Jill

Jill McCabe is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience helping adults address common concerns. She works with people seeking relief from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting challenges, career decisions, and transitions in life. She also supports those coping with addiction, sleep problems, grief, and attention-related difficulties.

Jill uses a conversational, interactive style in sessions. She listens to how family roles and early patterns show up now, and she helps people name the connections between past and present. Conversations are practical and focused on what someone wants to change next.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to improve focus and calm, and elements of existential and Jungian work are available for people wanting deeper exploration of meaning and identity.

Many people come because patterns from their family of origin still affect how they relate, make choices, or parent. Jill can help unpack those patterns and work on clearer communication and boundary setting. She has particular experience supporting people who are caring for others, facing chronic illness, or navigating adoption and blended family concerns.

Sessions emphasize practical steps and steady progress. Jill invites people to try ideas, reflect on what works, and adjust as needed. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective. It involves listening closely and helping people clarify what matters most to them, which can help when family patterns feel stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can teach simple CBT skills for anxiety, depression, sleep, and habit changes that people can practice between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to settle attention and reduce reactivity. Short mindfulness exercises can be used in sessions and as daily practice to improve focus and ease stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss goals and preferences with each person and help decide which methods to try. The choice of approach can shift over time based on what helps most.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask which session formats are offered and how they fit into your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or caregiving, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
