Eli Manata Sloan

Eli Manata Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who offers supportive therapy in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Eli brings four years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and life changes. Eli centers work on identity, sexuality, and relationships. Clients can bring questions about gender, sexual orientation, and intimacy. Eli also addresses breakup and separation, substance use concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and communication problems. Sessions may include creative expression and parts-based work that looks at inner experiences. Discussions can cover sexual health, kink and alternative sex culture, and relationship navigation. Eli describes the approach as trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+-affirming while inviting people to bring their whole self. When relationship concerns arise, Eli uses a Gottman-informed lens to strengthen connection or to plan separation and careful uncoupling. Supervision in sex therapy is noted as part of ongoing professional development, and this informs conversations about sexuality and diverse relationship structures. Eli is a doctoral student in Expressive Therapies and offers virtual sessions across Florida. The style is heart-centered and collaborative, with space for creative modalities and conversational exploration. People who want a therapist attentive to identity, intimacy, and life transitions may find this an approachable fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Eli combines expressive arts approaches with parts-based work to help people name feelings and try new responses. Expressive arts can include drawing, movement, or creative exercises to clarify emotions and reduce overwhelm. Parts-based work, informed by internal systems models, helps people talk with different inner parts and understand conflicting needs. Eli also brings a Gottman-informed perspective for relationship concerns, focusing on improving everyday interactions and repairing disconnection. That approach emphasizes practical skills for communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding small moments of trust. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Eli works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. The therapist will adjust techniques over time based on what feels most helpful in sessions. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, especially for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel. Virtual work can reduce commute time and let sessions happen from familiar surroundings. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to understand how meetings are scheduled and delivered.
