About Gabriel

Gabriel Most is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings 25 years of clinical experience to his practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, and a wide range of trauma-related concerns.

Background and approach

Gabriel also focuses on issues such as self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, LGBT matters, and coping with life changes, and he addresses additional areas like attachment, body image, cancer-related distress, and end-of-life concerns. Gabriel draws from several therapeutic orientations to tailor care to each person’s needs.

His work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside existential perspectives, EMDR for trauma, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. He emphasizes the mind-body connection and believes mental and physical health influence one another, using that understanding to support practical decision-making and sustained change.

Gabriel approaches therapy as a collaborative process that values compassion, commitment, and availability, and he aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore goals and find workable solutions.

He trained in social work and nursing and maintains a client-centered stance that adapts methods to the situation at hand, helping clients seize the present and move toward their priorities.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gabriel frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. He also incorporates EMDR when working with trauma-related memories, a method that focuses on processing distressing experiences to reduce their emotional impact. Additionally, he draws on existential therapy to explore meaning, values, and life direction when clients are wrestling with purpose, loss, or major life transitions.

Determining the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. Gabriel works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then blends these methods to create a tailored plan rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Clients are invited to participate in decisions about which techniques feel most helpful for their situation.

Online therapy with Gabriel is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to access consistent care while fitting therapy into day-to-day routines, and they allow ongoing collaboration on goals and strategies across sessions.
