About Gabriel
Gabriel Most is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and issues around intimacy and relationships. He also supports people managing codependency, attachment concerns, and identity-related stress such as LGBT and gender dysphoria matters.
Gabriel trained at CUNY Hunter College for his social work degree and later earned a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in 2012. He often draws on both mental health and medical perspectives when clients are coping with serious illness, hospice needs, or caregiving stress. His background gives him a practical sense of how physical health and emotional well-being interact.
In sessions he adapts his approach to each person. He uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused work depending on goals. That means sessions can include direct skill building, exploring life meaning, trauma processing, and short-term problem solving.
He emphasizes a straightforward and compassionate partnership. Gabriel aims to create a setting where people can speak openly, try tools for change, and set concrete steps toward better daily functioning. He also attends to concerns like burnout, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
People who choose him often want a blend of practical techniques and thoughtful reflection. He encourages taking small, consistent steps and supports clients as they work toward clearer decisions and more balanced routines.
How Gabriel Uses Different Approaches in Online Work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Existential Therapy looks at big questions about meaning, choices, and responsibility. This approach can help people facing life transitions, grief, or questions about purpose and identity.
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process upsetting memories. It can be useful for people coping with past abuse, severe emotional reactions, or dissociation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. He typically mixes brief skills-based work with deeper exploration, and adjusts as progress is made.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist's approaches translate to remote work by focusing on practical tools, guided exercises, and paced trauma processing. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and let therapy continue when travel or schedules change.
