Gabriel Most, LCSW

Gabriel Most is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in New York. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and challenges related to identity and relationships. He also works with clients dealing with compassion fatigue and life changes, and supports those coping with health-related concerns such as cancer and hospice issues.

Gabriel trained at CUNY Hunter College for social work and also holds a nursing degree from Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. He emphasizes the connection between mind and body and uses that perspective when supporting clients through illness, loss, or chronic conditions. His combined background in nursing and social work guides how he approaches care and practical problem solving.

He adapts his methods to each person’s needs. Gabriel uses cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, mindfulness to build calm and focus, and existential questions to clarify meaning and purpose. He also brings trauma-informed methods when past hurt affects present life.

Sessions are treated as a partnership. Gabriel aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through emotions, identify goals, and try focused strategies between visits. He balances short-term, solution-focused work with deeper exploration when that better suits a client’s goals.

Gabriel encourages people to take practical steps now rather than wait. He invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to begin with a simple first step toward support.

How Gabriel’s approaches translate to online work

Gabriel commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods and existential questions in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Existential Therapy helps people clarify values and purpose when facing life transitions or serious illness, often by discussing what matters most and what gives life meaning.

He also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma memories disrupt daily life. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories through guided processing and can be paired with grounding and mindfulness techniques to manage strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Gabriel will discuss goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust plans based on how a person responds. He favors a mix of short-term strategies and deeper work depending on the client’s needs and preferences.
