About Gabriel

Gabriel Kajeckas brings more than three decades of clinical experience to his work in Virginia, combining medical and social work training as an MD, LCSW-C, and LCSW.

Background and approach

He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, grief, relationship and family conflicts, and the lingering effects of earlier life trauma. Gabriel has long worked with families affected by addiction and helps clients untangle family of origin patterns that contribute to current struggles.

His style centers on partnership and practical skill building, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed perspectives and trauma-focused techniques. He aims to highlight clients' strengths and to translate insight into everyday strategies for improved sleep, reduced compulsive behaviors, healthier relationships, and greater emotional balance.

Gabriel accepts international clients and provides sessions in English using a variety of formats to fit different needs and schedules.

How Gabriel's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Gabriel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work into remote sessions in ways that emphasize practical change and relational patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and address compulsive or addictive patterns. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics, which can help with relationship conflicts, family issues, and self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process Gabriel uses; he works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences and adapts techniques over time as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions whether someone seeks symptom relief, clearer relationship patterns, or recovery from addictive behaviors.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, international time zones, and different comfort levels with remote interaction. These formats allow consistent contact, easy scheduling, and the ability to practice therapeutic skills in the environments where challenges arise.
