Eleana Coll, LCSW

Eleana Coll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of practice in California. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on her own immigrant experience to connect with people facing immigration and acculturation stress. Eleana focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, and addictions while attending to how life changes and family dynamics affect daily functioning.

She works in a straightforward, human-centered way. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through trauma, grief, or parenting strain and develop realistic coping strategies. Eleana uses practical tools to address symptoms and everyday problems rather than relying on jargon.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That mix helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns, learn grounding and present-moment skills, and find internal motivation for change. Sessions often include exercises and clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Eleana has experience supporting people dealing with substance use and related challenges, including drug and alcohol addiction. She also helps with matters such as abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, and immigration-related trauma. Her background includes individual and group work with Latino communities.

People who prefer a bilingual clinician and a practical, respectful style may find her approach helpful. To confirm current session options and formats before booking, please review the Start Therapy process on the site.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Eleana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and rework unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves short exercises, thought records, and specific homework tasks that can be reviewed during sessions.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach skills for staying grounded and reducing reactivity. Mindfulness exercises are short and practical, which helps when anxiety or stress feel overwhelming.

Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone is weighing change, such as addressing substance use. It focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation in a respectful way.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written exercises and guided mindfulness practices between sessions to reinforce what they learn in therapy.
