About Gabriel

Gabriel Most is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience based in New York. He works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and trauma. Gabriel pays particular attention to issues that affect identity and intimacy, including LGBTQ concerns and gender dysphoria.

He views mind and body as linked and uses that idea to guide practical care. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Gabriel emphasizes listening without judgment and creating a space where clients can name what matters to them. His clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral approaches, existential ideas, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and EMDR as part of trauma work. Gabriel adapts his methods to each person’s situation rather than using a single fixed method.

That flexibility helps him address problems from anxiety to compulsion to complicated grief. Over the years he has combined social work with nursing knowledge to help people manage stress, illness, life transitions, and end-of-life concerns. He also supports issues such as body image, attachment and abandonment, codependency, and first responder stress.

Gabriel describes therapy as a partnership that requires honesty, compassion, and steady effort. He encourages people ready to take a step toward change to try a short matching process and begin scheduling sessions that fit their needs. Gabriel’s style is direct but warm, with a focus on practical change and personal meaning.

Online support

Practical approaches and online care

Gabriel uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. He also draws on existential therapy to help people talk about life purpose, meaning, and big decisions when values and direction feel unclear. EMDR is included among his trauma-focused methods to address distress tied to upsetting memories and past abuse.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabriel will work with each person to match methods to their goals and comfort level, adjusting the plan as progress is made. He frames therapy as a partnership where goals, pacing, and techniques are shaped together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful when face-to-face conversation matters, phone can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can work for brief updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady momentum toward change.
