Eleana Coll, LCSW

Eleana Coll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in California. Eleana combines practical tools and a warm, down-to-earth approach so people feel heard and can start making changes right away.

She focuses on problems such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, relationship concerns, eating issues, and ADHD. Her background includes work with immigration and acculturation challenges and substance use concerns.

Eleana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She pairs that with mindfulness techniques to build calm and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented, with steps you can try between meetings.

Her style is practical and respectful. She aims to create a human connection that makes it easier to talk about hard topics and try new coping strategies. Sessions are offered in Spanish and English to meet bilingual needs.

People often come for short-term problem solving or longer work through deeper issues. Eleana helps clients develop clear strategies for daily stress, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and recovery from trauma. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress.

To begin, she asks about current concerns and what a better life would look like. From there she and the client build a plan that fits the person’s goals and pace.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing work online

Eleana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that feed problems and practice alternative responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that affect daily life.

She also offers mindfulness techniques that teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These skills support stress management, sleep, and grounding after upsetting experiences.

Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen motivation and clarify personal goals when someone is unsure about change. It helps people identify their own reasons to cut back on substances, stick with parenting plans, or try new coping habits.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjust methods as needed. That collaboration helps set realistic steps and keeps work aligned with the person’s pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and teaching skills, phone can fit short check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, and messaging allows brief updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving demands.
