About Eli

Eli Sanchez is a licensed therapist who uses practical, skills-based methods to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He brings 12 years of clinical experience and works in both English and Spanish. Eli holds LCPC and LPC licenses and practices from Oklahoma while accepting international clients who need remote support.

He favors approaches that teach useful skills for day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clear tools for mood regulation, managing strong emotions, and improving communication.

Background and approach

Eli explains strategies in plain language and helps people try them between sessions. His background includes work with parenting concerns, eating and food-related issues, addiction, and challenges around identity and isolation. He also addresses attachment-related patterns, impulsivity, and situations involving guilt or forgiveness.

That variety gives him experience with many common family and personal struggles. Eli combines cognitive work with techniques that address emotional patterns held in the body and relationships. He pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and helps clients create new options.

Many parents and caregivers find this helpful when facing family stress or grief. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Eli helps people pick a starting point, try practical steps, and track progress.

The tone is straightforward, calm, and focused on what someone can do next.

Using practical therapy approaches online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It teaches specific steps to reduce anxiety, change mood, and handle everyday stressors. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It helps when feelings get intense or when behavior patterns cause problems. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person - the reactive parts and the calmer parts - and helps those parts work together for better choices and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a process and happens together. The therapist will listen to goals and concerns, explain options, and try techniques to see what fits. Clients and the therapist adjust methods over time based on what helps most in real life.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. This lets people fit sessions into busy family schedules or connect from another state or country. Remote formats also allow follow-up between sessions and easier access to brief coaching when stress spikes.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Treats the mind as having distinct parts, each with its own worry or role, and works towards them being less at war with each other. Conversational, so it carries over to online sessions.
