About Eli
Eli Manata Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with four years of clinical experience. Eli offers therapy in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. They work with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.
Eli invites clients to bring questions about identity, sexuality, and relationship shifts. They use expressive arts and parts-based work inspired by Internal Family Systems to help people name internal conflicts and practice new ways of relating to themselves. Discussions can include sexuality, intimacy, and sexual health alongside concerns about substance use or eating and food-related issues.
When relationship issues come up, Eli applies a Gottman-informed perspective to look at how people reconnect and repair after disconnection. They also support people who are planning a separation or navigating uncoupling with attention to practical steps and emotional impact. Work around blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, and commitment concerns is described as part of their focus.
Eli notes experience with attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, family of origin problems, and alternative sex cultures including kink and BDSM. They combine creative approaches with talk-based work so people can try different ways of understanding hard patterns. Practical skills and concrete steps are used alongside exploring values and identity.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Evidence-based techniques mentioned in the profile include expressive arts and parts-based work inspired by Internal Family Systems. Expressive arts use creative activities like drawing or movement to help people access feelings and try new perspectives. Parts-based work helps name different inner voices or roles so people can reduce internal conflict and make clearer choices.The profile also references a Gottman-informed lens for relationship work. This approach looks at simple interaction patterns and practical repair steps to improve connection or manage separation with less escalation. Each method tends to focus on skills you can practice between sessions as well as in-session reflection.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying expressive exercises one week and skills-based conversation the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.
The profile states sessions are offered virtually throughout Florida but does not list specific session formats. Confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people work with a therapist who speaks their language even if they are not nearby.
