About Gabriel
Gabriel Most is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. He also lists life purpose among his areas of focus.
Gabriel trained at CUNY Hunter College and later completed a nursing degree at Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. He often highlights the connection between physical health and mental well-being and brings that perspective into sessions. He believes feeling better mentally supports clearer decisions in work, relationships, and daily life.
His practice has included substantial work with LGBTQ+ concerns and people navigating relationship, trauma, and career questions. He also notes experience with a wide range of focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, cancer and hospice-related counseling, HIV/AIDS, and compassion fatigue.
Gabriel uses a mix of approaches to match the issue and the person's goals. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques, as well as existential perspectives and trauma-focused tools including EMDR when appropriate. He may use behavioral modification and crisis intervention methods depending on the situation.
Sessions are described as a cooperative effort where the person’s goals guide the work. Gabriel emphasizes openness, steady commitment, and practical problem-solving as parts of therapy rather than promises of a fixed outcome.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Gabriel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness as part of his work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns that keep someone stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness involves simple attention practices and noticing patterns of thought and body sensation to reduce reactivity and improve focus.He also draws on existential therapy when questions about meaning, life purpose, and direction are central. Existential work examines values, life choices, and the practical implications of those values for everyday decisions. Together these approaches can be combined with trauma-focused methods when past events affect current functioning.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods and adjust them based on how the person responds. This helps keep sessions practical and focused on the concerns you raise.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid the need to be on camera for the whole session. These practical benefits often help people maintain regular appointments and apply skills between meetings.
