Are you navigating heartbreak, anxiety, or questions about who you are and where you belong?

You don’t have to cross this threshold alone.

I’m Eli Manata, a multilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering trauma-informed, heart-centered, LGBTQIA+-affirming care to individuals and couples. My work integrates expressive arts, IFS-informed parts work, and sexual health.

You are welcome to bring your whole Self into our work—whether you’re navigating relational rupture and repair, religious trauma and spirituality, substance use, sexuality and intimacy, or the layered experiences of identity and gender.

With couples, I use a Gottman-informed lens (Levels 1 and 2 trained) to strengthen bids for connection, repair disconnection, plan a separation, or navigate uncoupling with care. I receive sex-therapy supervision from an AASECT-certified supervisor through a multicultural, social-justice, and sex-positive lens that affirms diverse sexualities and relationship structures.

I’m a PhD student in Expressive Therapies and offer virtual sessions throughout Florida in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. On-screen pets are always welcome.

This is YOUR life. I honor that and welcome the whole of you. If you’re ready to begin, book a time that works for you, and lets journey together the Supernova Gateway into whatever comes next.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
