About Eli

Eli Sanchez is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 12 years of clinical experience. He practices in Oklahoma and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating issues, parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, and mood conditions like bipolar disorder.

Eli uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical techniques for managing strong emotions and impulsive reactions. He also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people better understand conflicting parts of themselves.

He focuses on communication problems, attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, and feelings of isolation. That means talking through how patterns form in relationships and finding ways to respond differently in the moment. He often works on control issues, commitment worries, and anger that comes from built-up resentment.

Sessions include hands-on exercises, real-world practice, and step-by-step plans to try between meetings. Eli explains tools plainly and practices them together with the person in session so they feel usable in daily life. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on his multicultural background to connect with diverse experiences.

For someone dealing with panic, recurring anger, or trouble communicating, he offers direct strategies and ongoing support. The process centers on practical change rather than labels, and Eli helps people test small changes that can reduce stress and improve relationships over time.

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions teach concrete skills like spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness; those skills can be practiced in session and applied in high-stress moments to reduce impulsive reactions.

Internal Family Systems helps people identify different inner parts that drive behavior, such as a critical part or an impulsive part. In online sessions this approach is used to notice those parts and practice responding to them differently, which can ease recurring anger and shame.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Eli will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. He adapts what you work on based on what proves helpful during early sessions, so the plan can change as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills between sessions in the settings where problems actually occur, so real-life work informs the therapy rather than being separate from it.
