About Eli
Eli Selkin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 18 years of experience. Eli works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and addictions. They also help with career strain and adjusting to life changes.
Eli draws on several approaches in sessions, including acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral methods. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps the client can try between meetings. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic perspectives inform how Eli listens for patterns and motivations over time.
Clients can expect direct conversations about what is working and what is not. Eli uses simple exercises and goal-setting to track small improvements. Conversations often include troubleshooting everyday problems like sleep, work pressure, or managing mood swings.
Over the years Eli has worked with people who face complicated life transitions such as adoption or foster care issues, aging and end-of-life concerns, hoarding, and personality-related struggles. They also support people navigating non-monogamous relationships and young adult challenges.
Eli accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Practical matters such as fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Eli uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that line up with what matters. It can help with anxiety, grief, and making commitments to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eli will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or hindered them before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a full life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, scheduling around work hours, or reducing travel time. It also lets therapeutic techniques such as ACT or CBT be practiced in everyday settings where problems actually occur, which can make learning feel more practical and directly useful.
