About Jill
Jill McCabe is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with 25 years of experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and the strain of life changes. Her tone is warm and interactive, and she aims to create a respectful space for honest conversation.
Jill helps people who are dealing with relationship and parenting challenges, blended family issues, divorce and separation, career concerns, and grief. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and disruptions in sleep. Many come for help with self-esteem, ADHD, and managing compassion fatigue.
Her approach starts with listening closely to each person’s story. Jill draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead, and she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also incorporates existential and Jungian ideas when they fit, and brings mindfulness into sessions for grounding and focus.
Jill tailors her work to practical needs. Sessions may include problem-solving, communication practice, and short exercises between meetings. She prefers straightforward language and avoids labels that feel stigmatizing.
People who want a collaborative, experienced counselor often find her style direct but compassionate. To begin, clients complete a short intake and then develop goals together with Jill based on immediate concerns and longer-term change.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It helps people set their own goals and feel heard during sessions, which can be especially useful when sorting out relationship or parenting concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes in daily life. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus during stressful times.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centered conversation, adding CBT tools, or weaving in mindfulness exercises over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, and avoid travel time. Talk with Jill about how to shape sessions so they fit your schedule and needs.
