About Eliana
Eliana Gassette is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and stress from life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, parenting concerns, and career struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and uses a straightforward, person-focused style.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The aim is to build skills that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Eliana draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. That means she helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and practice new behaviors while keeping the client's goals central.
She also uses emotion-focused and skills-based strategies when strong feelings or crisis responses are present. With 13 years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, she blends direct coaching with gentle reflection. This balance is useful for people who want concrete tools and those who need time to process feelings.
Eliana adapts her pace to what each person needs. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond mood, including attachment issues, caregiver stress, immigration challenges, hoarding, and impulse control. People who prefer English or Spanish can be seen and international clients are also accepted.
Approaches used in online sessions
Eliana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that fit their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing changes in behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.She also brings client-centered listening to meetings, creating space for people to describe their experience while the therapist reflects and guides practical next steps. Choosing the right approach is a team process. Eliana will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for full conversations and seeing expressions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates between meetings. These options offer flexibility to fit work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping therapy consistent.
