About Eleana

Eleana Coll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience. She practices in California and offers services in both English and Spanish. Eleana focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a range of emotional and behavioral issues.

She aims to create a warm, respectful space where parents and caregivers can talk through immediate problems and figure out practical next steps. Eleana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her sessions.

Background and approach

She uses these tools to help people notice patterns, manage strong feelings, and make small changes that add up. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what works for each household.

Her work includes support for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family conflicts, grief, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Additional focus areas listed include caregiver stress, postpartum issues, immigration-related concerns, and substance use. Eleana adapts her approach to the mix of problems a person or family brings.

Sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. Costs vary by location and are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a parent or guardian can select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Eleana aims to work collaboratively, helping families build practical strategies and clearer routines. She emphasizes respect and empathy while helping people find realistic steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate to online family support

Eleana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and actions that keep problems going, and then practice different ways to respond. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many parenting struggles.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing skills. These techniques can reduce reactivity and help parents stay present during stressful moments with children or partners.

Motivational Interviewing supports change by helping people find their own reasons to try new behaviors. It is often helpful when someone is facing addiction, ambivalence about treatment, or big life shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Eleana will discuss options and make decisions together based on goals, family needs, and what feels comfortable. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. These options let parents connect from home, follow up between sessions, and pick the format that best supports their daily routines.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
