About Gabriel

Gabriel Kajeckas, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW brings more than three decades of clinical experience to his practice in Virginia. He combines medical training with long-standing social work credentials to address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep and eating issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

His background includes extensive work with addictive behaviors and family-of-origin wounds, and he draws on that experience to help clients identify strengths they can use to move forward. Gabriel uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person’s situation, drawing on evidence-informed methods to address trauma, impulsivity, codependency, and complex emotional patterns.

He encourages practical steps alongside deeper exploration so clients can both manage symptoms and build insight. Prospective clients are guided through a straightforward onboarding process to connect with available appointment options and begin care when they feel ready.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Gabriel integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and building practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage sleep and eating issues, and address addictive behaviors. Trauma-focused therapy helps clients process and reduce the impact of past traumatic experiences through structured interventions that emphasize safety, stabilization, and gradual processing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabriel works with each person to clarify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt techniques over time so therapy fits changing needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity of care for international clients, and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented work alongside deeper exploration as needed.
