Gabriel Kajeckas, LCSW-C, LCSW

Gabriel Kajeckas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 32 years of practice in Virginia and Maryland. He focuses on common stresses people bring to therapy: anxiety, relationship strain, grief, family conflict, and addictive patterns. His work also includes concerns such as ADHD, sleep and eating troubles, and compassion fatigue.

Gabe draws on what people already do well. He helps clients notice patterns that repeat from family of origin and from past relationships. He also works on practical steps for coping with urges, reducing anxiety, and managing impulses. Sessions are grounded in clear, direct conversation rather than jargon.

He uses methods that look at how early bonds shape current behavior, how thoughts influence feeling and action, and how motivation can shift harmful habits. Those approaches guide the work rather than defining it. He also brings experience with relationship-focused methods when partners or relational patterns come up.

People often come to him worried about addiction in themselves or their family. He has long experience with drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions, and sex-related compulsions. He pays attention to how guilt, shame, and control issues affect choices and relationships.

Gabe helps people make specific changes they can practice between sessions. He asks straightforward questions, suggests manageable exercises, and tracks progress over time. If you want help with codependency, boundaries, or navigating a family crisis, he can talk through the steps you might take next.
