About Gabriel
Gabriel Kajeckas is a licensed clinical social worker licensed in Virginia and Maryland with 32 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep and eating problems, and trauma from earlier life.
Gabe draws on long experience helping people untangle patterns that began in their family of origin. He pays attention to how past attachments shape current relationships and coping. In sessions he helps people identify strengths they already have and apply them to practical problems.
He also brings focused work on addiction and impulse concerns. This includes support for drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions such as gambling and pornography, and sex addiction. He helps people understand triggers, set realistic goals, and build stepwise plans for change.
For relationship concerns he uses methods aimed at how partners connect and misconnect. He addresses codependency, control issues, separation and divorce, and communication problems that carry over from earlier family dynamics.
Gabe also supports people facing serious illness and end-of-life matters, along with the guilt, shame, and forgiveness questions that sometimes appear with those experiences. He uses practical tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning while attending to the longer history that shapes current struggles.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people see patterns in trust, closeness, and distance so they can change repeated reactions in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and eating habits, and shift unhelpful thinking that keeps problems going.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused method that helps people clarify their reasons for change. It can be useful for substance issues, process addictions, and any situation where deciding to change feels difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter check-in during a work break, or choosing a phone visit when lower bandwidth helps. Licensed professionals can also use virtual sessions to maintain regular contact between in-person meetings. Ask about current options when you schedule.
