About Eliana

Eliana Downing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Nevada with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related challenges such as grief, addiction, and parenting stress. She works with people who face identity-based stress and discrimination, and with those navigating gender dysphoria or immigration-related difficulties.

Eliana uses practical therapies to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods to build clear steps forward. Sessions often include learning new ways to respond to stressful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes between meetings.

Her background includes work with first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and postpartum depression. She also supports people dealing with hoarding, infidelity, multicultural concerns, personality disorder challenges, and prejudice or discrimination. This range informs how she plans sessions and sets goals with each person.

Eliana offers care in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. She uses a subscription-based payment model, where fees vary by location and the subscription can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals, short-term tools, and hands-on practice. Progress is measured by what people notice in daily life and by small, achievable changes they agree to try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Eliana often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when structuring online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses through experiments and homework. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when feelings are difficult, which can help with stress, anxiety, or life transitions.

She also uses client-centered skills to keep conversations focused on what matters to the person. The therapist and client decide together which approach or combination fits best based on goals and how the person prefers to work. That collaborative planning happens early and can be revisited as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another format is possible. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during busy days. It also lets people practice strategies in their everyday settings and bring real-life examples into sessions.
