About Gabriel
Gabriel Most is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of practice in New York. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship concerns, and anger. He also addresses LGBT issues and other life changes that make daily living harder.
He trained at CUNY Hunter College and later completed a nursing degree at Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. Gabriel draws on both mental health and medical perspectives to notice how body sensations and mood affect each other. He explains things plainly and helps clients see how feelings shape choices.
In sessions he uses a mix of methods rather than one fixed model. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help reduce reactivity by bringing attention back to the present moment. He also works from existential ideas that look at meaning and values when life feels uncertain.
For trauma-related issues he may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused strategies to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. Solution-focused work is used when the aim is to create practical changes quickly, for example changing how arguments start or how stress is handled at work.
Gabriel describes therapy as a partnership that requires commitment and honesty. He aims to help people name what matters, try concrete steps, and decide what works for them going forward.
How Gabriel uses approaches online
Gabriel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactivity at work or home. EMDR is used for trauma-related memories to help decrease their emotional intensity and make them easier to talk about. Mindfulness work trains attention and breathing to lower immediate anger or anxiety responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriel will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest a combination of techniques to try. He treats this as a collaborative process where tests and small changes show what helps most for a person's situation.
