About Eli
Eli Manata Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who offers compassionate, trauma-aware care. Eli speaks English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese and invites people to bring their whole selves to therapy. They describe their work as LGBTQIA+-affirming and sex-positive, and they work with relationship, identity, and intimacy concerns.
Eli blends expressive arts with parts work ideas to help people name and move through painful feelings. Sessions often focus on repairing connection, coping with anxiety, and managing stress. Substance use and questions about sexuality and sexual culture are also part of the caseload they address.
For clients facing relationship shifts, Eli uses a Gottman-informed perspective to look at connection attempts, repair, and separation planning. They also receive sex-therapy supervision from an AASECT-certified supervisor and bring a multicultural, social-justice lens to conversations about sexual health and alternative relationship structures.
As a PhD student in Expressive Therapies, Eli continues to deepen their clinical perspective and creative methods. They provide virtual sessions throughout Florida and welcome on-screen pets as part of the experience. The approach aims to be collaborative and grounded in everyday needs.
Clients can expect a warm, direct style that blends creative tools with practical strategies. Eli helps people work through codependency, attachment wounds, trauma, addiction, and life changes while honoring identity and sexual expression. If someone is ready to begin, the next step is to book a time that fits their schedule.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Evidence-based expressive methods use creative activities to help people access feelings and try new ways of relating. This can include drawing, movement, or storytelling adapted for conversation, and it often helps with identity work, grief, and processing trauma.Parts work, influenced by internal family systems ideas, helps people notice different inner voices and patterns. It supports work on attachment wounds, codependency, and self-critical thoughts by giving each part a chance to be heard and understood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eli collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That process includes checking preferences, experimenting with creative tools, and adjusting pace based on what helps most.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, and other life demands. It also lets people use less travel time, have shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt expressive exercises and parts work to virtual settings so therapeutic progress can continue on a schedule that fits everyday life.
