Gabriel Kajeckas

Gabriel Kajeckas is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 32 years of practice. He holds an LCSW-C and an LCSW and works from Virginia. Gabriel focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship and family concerns.

He often helps people sort through problems rooted in early family life. Many clients come for relief from grief, sleep or eating issues, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with control issues, codependency, and challenges tied to substance use or process addictions.

Gabriel uses a blend of approaches to meet practical needs in the room. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships affect current ones. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change addictive patterns but feel stuck.

Clients who are facing divorce and separation or end-of-life concerns may find his background relevant, since he lists those among his focus areas. He frames therapy around strengths and realistic steps, helping people try small changes that add up over time.

Sessions are described in straightforward terms: talk through what matters now, uncover patterns from earlier life, and practice new ways of responding. Gabriel encourages the first step of reaching out and completing an intake so work can begin on manageable goals.

How his approaches translate to online work

Gabriel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often includes setting small goals and practicing different responses between sessions, which can fit well into daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current reactions and helps people try new patterns in relationships and self-care.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean leaning into CBT for pattern change, or focusing on attachment issues when relationship history feels central.

The original profile does not specify session delivery methods, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent weekly work and make it simpler to involve a therapist when life events like separation or caregiving complicate logistics.
