Gabriel Most, LCSW

Gabriel Most is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. He combines social work training with a nursing background - including a nursing degree from the Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing awarded in 2012 and a graduate degree from CUNY Hunter College - to attend to the whole person. As an LCSW he offers professional psychotherapy and casework informed by both mental health and medical perspectives.

His practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He has extensive experience working with LGBT clients, young adults navigating relationships and careers, and people facing complicated losses or chronic health challenges such as cancer and hospice or end-of-life issues. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation, first responder stress, and caregiving fatigue.

Gabriel describes therapy as a collaborative partnership that requires compassion, commitment, and availability. His style blends behavioral modification, psychodynamic perspectives, mind-body techniques, crisis intervention, existential exploration, and other evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s goals. He emphasizes practical strategies while honoring individual experience, helping clients make decisions that support long-term growth and change.

Gabriel encourages people to seize the present as an opportunity to invest in their well-being, and he invites prospective clients to reach out when they are ready to begin work together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gabriel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. He also integrates EMDR when trauma processing is needed; EMDR is a structured method that can help people reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions. Mindfulness Therapy is another element in his work, teaching present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can support emotional balance and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Gabriel collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so care remains personalized and responsive.

Online therapy with Gabriel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from familiar settings, and fit therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
