I am not sure I understand what you mean by "make the y-axis 
point downwards". I am guessing you want the increasingly 
positive tick values to appear toward the bottom of the page. If 
I have this right perhaps you will find the following satisfactory

Plot[-Log[Abs[x]], {x, -2, 2}, PlotRange -> {Automatic, {-1,
    3.5}}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, PlotPoints -> 100, 
FrameLabel -> {"x",
    "y"}, FrameTicks -> {Automatic, Transpose[{
     Range[0, 3], Range[3, 0, -1]}], {}, {}}];
