About Eleni

Eleni Speropulos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Oregon with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and issues around sleep and self-esteem.

Her approach is conversational and interactive. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-based, client-centered, dialectical behavior, and existential ideas to address real problems. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying new coping skills, and improving communication in relationships.

Eleni helps clients outline specific goals and practical steps. She encourages people to name what they want to change and to test small behavior changes between sessions. Therapy can include skill practice, thought records, and exploring how past relationships affect current patterns.

She also works with people facing complex or overlapping issues such as addiction, codependency, and trauma. In those cases she combines skills-based work with attention to attachment needs and the meanings clients give to their experiences. The work aims to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.

Sessions are collaborative; the client’s perspective guides planning and pace. Eleni uses her clinical approaches to offer clear strategies, problem-solving, and space to talk through painful experiences. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify goals and feel understood; it supports work on relationships, grief, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and managing mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people change those interaction habits to improve connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eleni will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She frames this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans based on how practical exercises and conversations feel for each person.

Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists commonly use video or phone for these benefits, but check which formats she offers when you schedule so you can pick what fits your daily routine best.
