Gabriel Most

Gabriel Most is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, addiction, anxiety, and depression. He brings 25 years of clinical experience in New York and a practical focus on everyday challenges. Gabriel aims to make the first steps into counseling feel more manageable and direct. He emphasizes partnership, respect, and clear goals in sessions.

Gabriel trained at CUNY Hunter College for his social work degree and also completed a nursing degree at Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in 2012. He sees the connection between body and mind as central to healing and decision making. That perspective shapes how he frames treatment and supports problem solving.

His work often addresses loss, trauma, relationship strain, and issues connected to identity and sexuality. He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions may combine practical behavior changes with deeper exploration of meaning and life choices.

Gabriel describes therapy as a partnership that needs compassion, commitment, and trust. He prioritizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can speak openly and work toward clear, realistic goals. He encourages taking action in the present to make meaningful change.

In session he draws on mindfulness techniques, solution-focused strategies, existential ideas about purpose, cognitive behavioral methods, and trauma-focused tools. This blend is tailored to the person’s goals and paced to their readiness to change.

How Gabriel’s approaches translate to online work

Gabriel often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. He also uses existential ideas that invite conversation about meaning, choices, and priorities when people face major transitions or end-of-life questions.

EMDR and trauma-focused tools are part of his practice as well, offering structured ways to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. These approaches are chosen based on the issue and the person’s readiness to engage with them, and they can be integrated with mindfulness and solution-focused work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabriel will work with clients to review goals, test methods, and adjust the plan. He emphasizes gradually building skills and choosing techniques that feel manageable and relevant to each person’s situation.

Because this profile does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or rely on audio-only contact when video is difficult. Discussing logistics early helps match the therapeutic approach to practical needs.
