About Gabriel

Gabriel Most is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience based in New York. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger, and relationship concerns. Gabriel also supports those facing life changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

He trained at CUNY Hunter College for social work and holds a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. Gabriel sees the mind and body as linked and uses that idea when planning care. He believes feeling better mentally makes it easier to make healthy choices in life.

Gabriel’s work has included a focus on LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and career struggles for young adults, and trauma-related issues. Much of his practice has also addressed bereavement, chronic illness, and caregiving strains. He aims to offer a steady, compassionate presence while clients face difficult transitions.

His approach adapts to each person’s goals and situation. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, existential ideas, EMDR, and solution-focused methods depending on need. Sessions often mix practical strategies with moments to reflect on meaning and values.

Gabriel describes therapy as a partnership that requires honesty, commitment, and availability. He encourages people to take the step toward change and plans treatment with clear, achievable goals in mind.

How Gabriel’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress to build clearer coping skills and practical routines.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional charge. It is commonly applied when trauma or disturbing past events interfere with daily life.

Existential Therapy helps people clarify values, purpose, and meaning when facing life transitions or big decisions. It invites reflection on what matters most and how to live more intentionally.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, mixing techniques to create a tailored plan.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt interventions for remote sessions so people keep making steady progress while balancing everyday demands.
