Gabriel Most, LCSW

Gabriel Most is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and depression. He works with clients facing relationship and intimacy struggles, family tensions, and compassion fatigue. Gabriel also addresses concerns tied to identity, including LGBT and gender dysphoria issues, and supports people coping with life changes and end-of-life questions.

He trained at CUNY Hunter College and also holds a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing earned in 2012. Gabriel often blends attention to physical health with therapy because he sees mental and bodily wellbeing as closely connected. He aims to help people make clearer decisions by improving how they feel mentally and physically.

His way of working adapts to the person and the problem. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, uses existential perspectives to look at meaning and purpose, and applies trauma-focused tools when past events are causing ongoing distress. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques also appear in sessions when they fit the client’s goals.

Gabriel emphasizes a collaborative partnership. He seeks to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly, try different tools, and track progress toward concrete goals. He encourages practical steps alongside emotional processing so people can notice real changes in day-to-day life.

People who value a straightforward, steady approach and who want to tie mental health work to everyday routines may find his style matches their needs. He practices in New York and holds the LCSW credential.

How Gabriel’s approaches translate to online care

Gabriel uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and trying out new habits.

He also draws on existential therapy to help people examine meaning, purpose, and life choices. That approach is useful when someone is wrestling with big questions about direction, loss, or end-of-life concerns. Gabriel blends trauma-focused tools, including EMDR-based techniques, when past events keep disrupting daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods suited to their situation. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so techniques feel relevant and doable.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about which session setup would best fit routines and technical comfort.
