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]}], {}, {}}];
