About Eliana
Eliana Downing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with three years of experience. She focuses on common and complex concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.
Eliana uses a multicultural lens in her work. She helps people who face discrimination, identity questions, or immigration stress. She also addresses issues tied to gender dysphoria, first responder strain, and grief related to hospice and end-of-life care.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she listens for patterns of feeling and behavior. Then she helps people notice and change the patterns that get in the way of better days.
Eliana works with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. She supports people dealing with parenting strain, addiction, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, hoarding, infidelity, and multicultural stressors. She also addresses career pressure, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she is open to international clients. Practical steps for beginning therapy include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site. The cost varies by location and is managed through a cancelable subscription model.
How Eliana uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying core emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and understand how those feelings shape their reactions in relationships and daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps for noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-guided action and can help with anxiety, stress, and major life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear tools to shift unhelpful thinking. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and patterns that keep causing problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Eliana will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative conversation helps shape a plan that fits the person’s needs.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The site’s intake process and questionnaire will clarify how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so people can meet during lunch breaks or between commitments.
