About Jill
Jill McCabe is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and parenting challenges, career questions, and major life changes. Jill also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She has worked with people from many backgrounds, including those facing divorce, blended family issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and cancer-related challenges. Jill has helped clients who have experienced emotional or physical trauma and those supporting loved ones with serious mental health or addiction problems.
Her way of working is interactive and conversational. Jill uses methods from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential and Jungian approaches, and Mindfulness practices to shape sessions. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings and on clear goals for what they want to change.
Sessions commonly include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts or patterns, and trying small behavioral experiments. Jill pays attention to relationships and family dynamics when those affect the concern at hand. She also draws on narrative and motivational techniques to help people clarify values and next steps.
People who book with Jill should expect direct, respectful conversation about what is most pressing. She asks about the history of the problem and about current routines to find concrete places to begin. The approach is geared toward helping people make manageable changes and better cope with the stressors they face.
How Jill’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions spend time on what the person wants to change and on building a working plan together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness therapy offers attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jill will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before to decide which methods to use. That decision is shared so the client knows why a particular tool or exercise is being tried and can suggest changes.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online meetings can make it easier to attend from work breaks, reduce travel time, let people use shorter check-ins when needed, and allow exercises that include daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and client-centered talk to virtual sessions to keep progress moving forward.
