About Jill
Jill McCabe is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, interactive approach and aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns.
Jill helps people facing life transitions, career decisions, grief, and the ongoing strain of caregiving or chronic illness. She regularly supports people who are coping with trauma, physical injury, or addiction, and she also works with those affected by blended families, divorce, and adoption or foster care issues.
Her style centers on respect and sensitivity. Jill avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on how problems show up in daily life. Sessions are conversational and geared to the person in front of her rather than a fixed protocol.
Jill draws on a mix of practical tools and reflective work. She uses client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and elements of existential and Jungian perspectives. Together with the client she shapes the plan to fit needs, goals, and preferences.
Based in New York, Jill has spent decades refining ways to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also supports people who are caring for someone with serious mental health or addiction issues and who need strategies to manage stress and boundaries.
To begin, she asks people to share their priorities so sessions can address immediate concerns while building toward longer-term change.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Jill uses client-centered work that begins with listening closely to what matters to you and shaping conversations around your priorities. This approach helps when people need practical problem solving, support through transitions, or a place to feel heard.She also uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing concrete skills to change behavior and mood. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Jill will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences, adjusting plans as you go so the work stays useful and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during challenging transitions. Different formats can also suit quieter conversations, shorter progress reviews, or longer exploratory work depending on what you need.
