Eli Manata Sloan, LCSW

Eli Manata Sloan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. Eli speaks English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese and offers therapy with attention to identity, relationships, and everyday struggles. They emphasize a trauma-aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming approach that lets clients bring their full selves to sessions.

Eli helps people facing stress, anxiety, and addiction find clearer footing. They also support those working through trauma and abuse, and people coping with life changes. Sexuality, intimacy, and questions about gender and belonging are part of their practice.

In sessions Eli blends expressive arts and parts work to help clients name and move through painful patterns. They use a sex-positive, multicultural lens when addressing sexual health and kink-related concerns. This includes practical conversation about boundaries, consent, and communication in relationships.

Eli offers care that attends to both everyday habits and deeper relational patterns. They can help with abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, body image, and blended family challenges. Substance use and eating-related concerns are also within their focus.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Eli invites exploration through creative outlets, reflective exercises, and focused talk work. The goal is clearer choices, improved connection, and daily practices that feel manageable.

Approaches that meet daily life and identity work

Parts work focuses on identifying different internal parts or voices people carry. It helps when habits, cravings, or self-criticism feel overwhelming by giving language to those parts and finding kinder ways to respond. Expressive arts uses drawing, movement, or other creative methods to help people access emotions and stories that are hard to name with words. It can be useful for processing trauma, exploring identity, and shifting unhelpful routines.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose what fits their needs and goals. This means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow people to meet from familiar surroundings. It also lets the therapist and client use creative exercises or screen-sharing tools when helpful. Confirm formats and scheduling details directly when you start the process so arrangements match your day-to-day life.
