About Gabriel

Gabriel Most is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 25 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and relationship concerns. He also supports issues related to intimacy, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Most's background includes a social work degree from CUNY Hunter College and a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. He describes the mind-body link as central to well-being and uses that idea to inform practical treatment choices. He sees mental and physical health as interconnected and relevant to everyday decisions.

His practice has often focused on depression, anxiety, grief, and addictions. He has also worked with people navigating LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and career issues, trauma, and young-adult transitions. He frames therapy as a partnership that calls for commitment and availability from both sides.

Gabriel adapts his methods to the situation and goals a person brings. He uses cognitive and behavioral tools alongside existential ideas, mindfulness, and crisis-focused techniques. He also has experience with trauma-focused methods and EMDR approaches when appropriate.

Sessions aim to be practical and solution-minded. Gabriel emphasizes understanding struggles, reducing distress, and developing clearer choices for day-to-day life. He encourages starting now when someone feels ready to address problems and pursue change.

BHow sessions work

How Gabriel uses clinical approaches in online work

Gabriel commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete behavior changes. CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

He also uses Existential Therapy to help people clarify values, face life transitions, and examine meaning. This approach is useful for concerns like life purpose, grief, and coping with big changes.

He has experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a trauma-focused option that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms. EMDR is typically used when trauma history is a central issue.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Gabriel will talk through goals, preferences, and how different approaches might fit. Together they prioritize what feels most useful and practical for daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid commuting on workdays. Gabriel will discuss how to structure sessions so they match the client's needs and routine.
