About Gabriel

Gabriel Most welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by life’s pressures. He is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice based in New York. He listens first, then helps people set clear, practical goals for change.

Gabriel blends talk therapy with attention to the mind-body link. He uses straightforward techniques to address anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and addictions. He also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, relationship stress, and questions around gender and sexual identity.

Background and approach

His background includes a social work degree from CUNY Hunter College and a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. That mix brings medical awareness to conversations about emotional pain and physical health. It also shapes his interest in hospice, cancer, and geriatric concerns.

Sessions focus on specific problems and day-to-day coping. Gabriel draws on Cognitive Behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps to build skills and manage symptoms. He may use trauma-focused approaches when past harm is part of the story.

People who choose his work can expect a direct but compassionate style. He emphasizes partnership, clear goals, and practical steps you can try between sessions. Gabriel encourages people to treat therapy as a time to practice changes that fit real life.

Approaches Gabriel names

Online support

Therapeutic approaches available online and how they help

Gabriel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and improve emotional regulation.

He may also draw on elements of Existential Therapy to help people find meaning and direction during major life transitions. Existential work invites honest conversation about values, purpose, and the choices a person wants to make. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Gabriel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as understanding grows.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit a busy day and allow frequent brief check-ins or skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
