Gabriel Kajeckas, LCSW-C, LCSW

Gabriel Kajeckas, LCSW-C, LCSW, has practiced social work for more than three decades. He is licensed in Virginia and Maryland and draws on years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and trauma from earlier life. He also works with addictive behaviors and their effects on relationships and family life.

He focuses on practical steps that build on a person's strengths. Sessions often look at patterns that came from family of origin experiences and how those patterns show up now. Gabriel helps people untangle control issues, codependency, and impulses that interfere with daily life.

When concerns involve relationships, he uses approaches that encourage connection and clearer communication. He also supports people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life situations, cancer-related stress, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. Eating, sleeping, and self-worth issues are part of his work as well.

Gabriel mixes tools from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and motivational interviewing to set simple goals and track progress. He pays attention to how past hurts shape current choices and helps people try different ways of responding. The aim is steady change rather than quick fixes.

People who reach out should expect a calm, experienced clinician who will help them sort priorities and set manageable steps. Gabriel accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Gabriel’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people see how emotional habits come from family history and how to build safer, more connected ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to change behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and poor sleep going.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone is unsure about giving up substances or breaking other difficult habits because it builds motivation in a respectful, step-by-step way.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then recommend a path to try together. The process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some formats also work better when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera.
