About Eli
Eli Manata Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with four years of experience. Eli works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and the effects of trauma and abuse. They also support those coping with life changes and explore concerns tied to identity and relationships.
Eli offers therapy in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Sessions are described as LGBTQIA+-affirming and trauma-informed, and Eli invites people to bring full aspects of themselves, including questions around sexuality and gender. They note experience attending to relationship ruptures, religious and spiritual concerns, and substance use.
In practice Eli integrates expressive arts and internal family systems–informed parts work alongside conversations about sexual health. That combination can help people name inner conflicts, try new ways of relating, and work through difficult feelings. For people in partnerships Eli uses a Gottman-informed lens to address bids for connection, repair disconnection, or plan and navigate separation.
Eli is a PhD student in Expressive Therapies and offers virtual sessions across Florida. They mention sex-therapy supervision from an AASECT-certified supervisor and a multicultural, social-justice, sex-positive perspective. On-screen pets are welcome during sessions.

How Eli applies therapeutic methods online
Evidence-based expressive arts therapy uses creative activities like drawing or movement to help people access feelings and try new responses. It can be useful for people who find words alone feel limited when dealing with attachment or family of origin patterns.Internal Family Systems–informed parts work treats inner conflicts as distinct parts of a person to talk with. This approach helps people notice and calm parts that react around abandonment, control, or intimacy, and then practice different ways of responding in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Eli will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting tools, and inviting feedback as therapy proceeds.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a day, such as shorter check-ins over video or phone when time is tight, or full video sessions when more interaction is wanted. Online work can make it simpler to include creative exercises or to schedule appointments around caregiving and work commitments.
