Eli Selkin is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. They offer direct, practical support for depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and addiction-related struggles. Eli centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in each session.
Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the person seeking help. Eli works with clients to set clear, doable goals and then uses methods that fit the person’s needs.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored so progress feels relevant and realistic. Eli draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and live by their values. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want support to change behaviors.
Psychodynamic ideas inform deeper exploration of long-standing patterns and relationships. Over 18 years, Eli has supported people through career changes, compassion fatigue, and the complexities of adoption and foster care. They also address aging and end-of-life concerns, hoarding and avoidant personality patterns, and issues that arise in non-monogamous relationships.
Sessions are available in English and can be scheduled from California. Eli works with international clients and offers a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to match different needs and routines.
How Eli’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps toward what matters to them. It focuses on values and small actions that add meaning to daily life, which can be practiced between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.Eli treats finding the right approach as a team effort. They will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t helping, Eli adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and focused on results the client wants.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow more face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are good when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during work, travel, or busy weeks.
