About Eli

Eli Manata Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with four years of practice. Eli provides care in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese and offers virtual sessions for people located in Florida.

Eli focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. They also address abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, substance use, eating-related issues, and family of origin concerns. Sessions welcome conversations about sexuality, kink, and alternative sex culture.

Their style blends trauma-informed listening with expressive arts and parts work inspired by Internal Family Systems. Eli uses these tools to help people notice patterns, name feelings, and practice small changes in daily life. Work often includes creative exercises or naming internal parts to make difficult moments clearer.

When people bring relationship questions, Eli integrates concepts from the Gottman approach to improve connection, manage repair after conflict, or plan separation with care. They also receive sex-therapy supervision and work from a sex-positive, multicultural, social-justice perspective when discussing sexual health and intimacy.

Eli runs virtual sessions for folks in Florida and invites people to bring their whole self to sessions. Scheduling starts by selecting the online therapy options, completing a short matching questionnaire, and booking a first session.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Sessions draw on expressive arts, which uses creative activities to help people name feelings and rehearse change. Creative tools can make emotional material more tangible and give concrete ways to practice between sessions. This approach can help with trauma, identity questions, and difficult feelings around relationships.

Eli also uses parts work informed by Internal Family Systems, a way of talking about the different inner voices that influence behavior. Naming those parts and learning to relate to them reduces reactivity and creates room for new choices. This method is useful for anxiety, attachment wounds, and patterns tied to addiction or relationship conflict.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to learn what fits their goals, preferences, and everyday constraints. Together they try methods, assess what helps, and adjust the plan based on how sessions feel and what changes are wanted.

The biography lists virtual sessions in Florida but does not specify other formats. Confirm available session formats before booking to know what works for your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur between other commitments.
