About Eleni

Eleni Speropulos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oregon with 10 years of clinical experience. She sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, parenting tensions, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also addresses issues like self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Her sessions are relaxed and interactive. She encourages clients to have a voice in their treatment and helps them set practical goals. Eleni uses a mix of approaches so conversations can include skills practice, reflection on relationship patterns, and work on beliefs that keep problems going.

Eleni uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.

She also brings existential and client-centered perspectives when clients want to examine meaning, values, or make life decisions. Trauma experiences are addressed respectfully, with attention to pacing and the client's readiness to process painful memories.

People who come to Eleni often want concrete tools for anger, clearer communication in relationships, or support through major life transitions. She helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and practice skills between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and patterns. Online sessions can use this lens to identify triggers in close relationships and practice different responses in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online session this often means learning specific skills, doing short between-session experiments, and reviewing what worked during follow-up meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills can be taught and rehearsed in sessions so clients can try them between meetings when strong feelings arise. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made. Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people like online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy day, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Ask about session length and scheduling during the matching process so appointments match your routine.
