Gabriel Most

Gabriel Most is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. He aims to make the first steps into counseling feel manageable and straightforward for people who are worried or unsure.

Gabriel sees therapy as a collaborative effort. He draws on a mix of practical methods to address immediate problems and deeper patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions often include behavior-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, and conversations that explore meaning, values, and life choices.

His background includes a social work degree from CUNY Hunter College and a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. That mix of training informs his attention to the mind-body connection and how physical health and mental health interact in daily life.

He has significant experience supporting people with trauma, grief, codependency, body image concerns, and issues like abandonment or attachment difficulties. Gabriel also works with people dealing with cancer, hospice and end-of-life questions, HIV/AIDS, and first responder stress. He emphasizes compassion, clear goals, and practical steps toward change.

Gabriel describes beginning therapy as a partnership that requires compassion, commitment, and availability. He encourages people to take small steps toward their goals and uses a combination of short-term strategies and longer-term reflection to help clients move forward.

How Gabriel’s approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhealthy coping. It often includes concrete exercises and short homework tasks to practice between sessions.

Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning, and life choices. It helps people facing major transitions, grief, or questions about purpose by clarifying what matters and exploring options for living in line with those values.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that addresses disturbing memories by using bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall. It is aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and the symptoms that follow them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and life situation. He may blend techniques so sessions focus on both immediate coping and longer-term change.

For practical details about online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Gabriel’s training includes approaches that adapt well to remote talk therapy and guided exercises, and many people appreciate scheduling that fits around work, family, or medical appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit short check-ins or regular weekly meetings into a busy routine without changing your day too much.
