About Jill

Jill McCabe is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with 25 years of practice. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, and major life changes. Jill also supports people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are conversational and practical. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Jill blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives when those approaches fit a person’s needs. Together with each client she shapes goals and tools that feel achievable.

She has worked with people at many stages of life and with varied concerns, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment matters, blended family challenges, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster. Jill also supports people dealing with abandonment, body image, codependency, and disruptive mood issues.

Practical problem-solving and steady emotional support guide her work. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change, what is getting in the way, and small steps to try between sessions. She invites honest feedback so plans can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first. The therapist focuses on active listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the individual. This approach helps when people need steady emotional support and clearer direction for next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses straightforward exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness-based ideas teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where client feedback guides the plan.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific online formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during workday breaks or evenings. It also supports regular check-ins and practical homework between meetings so each session contributes to real change.
