About Eli
Eli Manata Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with four years of clinical experience. Eli works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. They offer services in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
Eli describes a trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming approach and integrates expressive arts and parts work that is informed by Internal Family Systems ideas. They also bring sexual health conversations into sessions and welcome discussion of sexuality and intimacy without judgment. Practical topics Eli commonly addresses include relationship rupture and repair, substance use, and questions about identity and gender.
When people come feeling stuck after a breakup, job change, or health crisis, Eli focuses on concrete, moment-to-moment steps. Sessions can include creative exercises, talking through patterns of behavior, and identifying parts of yourself that feel stuck or reactive. For couples, Eli uses a Gottman-informed lens to look at connection, repairs, or separation planning when that is needed.
Eli is training toward a PhD in Expressive Therapies and receives sex-therapy supervision from an AASECT-certified supervisor. They note a multicultural, social-justice, and sex-positive orientation and welcome conversations about kink and alternative sexual cultures. On-screen pets are welcomed during virtual meetings.

Approaches for online sessions and how they fit
IFS-informed parts work focuses on identifying the different 'parts' of a person and how those parts react in stress. It helps when someone feels torn between impulses or is stuck repeating patterns, such as in relationship conflict or after loss.Expressive arts methods use drawing, movement, or storytelling as a way to access feelings that are hard to name. These techniques can make it easier to notice shifts in mood and to try new ways of responding to difficult situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Eli will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, adjusting over time as needs change. The focus is on practical tools and experiments that someone can use between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone choose audio-only interactions if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while juggling everyday life.
