About Eliana
She draws from several practical therapy methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make daily life more manageable. Eliana pays attention to identity, immigration background, and experiences of discrimination when those issues matter to a person’s wellbeing.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set goals and try out ways to reduce distress. Therapy can include learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and working on difficult relationship patterns.
Eliana has three years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - and she aims to keep work focused and goal-oriented. She also supports people dealing with first responder stress, gender dysphoria, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and other specific life challenges.
People choosing to work with her will find a flexible, culturally aware clinician who emphasizes practical steps. She helps clients build tools for managing mood, improving communication, and handling big life changes.

How therapy methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, committed actions even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches so people can try what feels most useful and adjust over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a person’s routine. It also makes it possible for international clients and those in different regions to connect with a licensed professional in Nevada.
