About Eleni

Eleni Speropulos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Oregon with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, codependency, grief, parenting strain, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, with a focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are offered to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are available for handling strong emotions and building coping strategies.

Her approach centers on giving clients a voice in planning their care. People set goals together with her, and she offers concrete skills, perspective shifts, and emotion-regulation techniques. Therapy sessions usually mix talking with simple exercises to practice outside sessions.

She has worked with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and substance use concerns. Eleni also supports people managing body image, blended family stress, caregiving strain, and the challenges that come with separation or domestic violence histories.

Clients can expect straightforward feedback and tools they can use day to day. The work often focuses on setting boundaries, reducing people-pleasing patterns, and learning to notice and change automatic reactions. Eleni aims to help people reclaim a sense of self and clearer decision making.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current trust and closeness. Online sessions can use this approach to map relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, using short exercises and between-session practice to test changes and reduce symptoms.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. She and the client review concerns, goals, and preferences together and decide which approaches to try first. Adjustments are made as the work unfolds so the plan stays useful and practical.

The therapist's original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - fewer travel needs, shorter check-in visits when needed, and sessions that can match work or caregiving schedules. It also lets clients and therapists try skills and role-plays in the context of daily routines, then discuss how they went in the next meeting.
