About Gabriel
Gabriel Most is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in New York with 25 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria. Gabriel also addresses guilt and shame alongside related concerns like self-esteem and forgiveness.
He trained at CUNY Hunter College and holds a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. Gabriel frames mental health as linked to the body and everyday choices, and he draws on that connection when talking through problems. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at practical steps you can use outside the appointment.
Gabriel uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s goals. He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift patterns of thinking and behavior, Existential Therapy to examine meaning and values, and Mindfulness techniques to calm the body and mind. He also integrates trauma-focused approaches when trauma or abuse is part of the picture.
His caseload has included people dealing with addictions, grief, and trauma, as well as those navigating life-stage changes like aging or end-of-life care. He has worked with LGBT people and those facing HIV/AIDS related concerns, and he lists first responder and caregiver stress among his focus areas.
Gabriel describes therapy as a partnership that asks for honesty, steady effort, and practical problem solving. He encourages people who carry guilt or shame to bring those experiences into sessions so they can be talked through and understood in context.
How his approaches translate to online work
Gabriel often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in his clinical work. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete tools to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and guilt-driven thinking. Existential Therapy examines meaning, values, and life choices, helping people clarify what matters when they feel stuck or ashamed.He also uses EMDR-informed, trauma-focused techniques when trauma is present to address distressing memories and their emotional hold. Those approaches aim to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and make daily functioning easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. He adapts techniques as needed so sessions reflect the issues you bring and the pace you set.
