About Eleni

Eleni Speropulos is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting struggles, grief, and relationship problems. She also supports those dealing with trauma, depression, sleep issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Her tone in sessions is warm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on listening and practical steps that fit each person's life.

Her style is relaxed and interactive. She uses clear language and aims to make therapy feel understandable rather than clinical.

Background and approach

People can expect a collaborative process where their priorities shape the plan. Eleni values respect and empathy in every conversation. Eleni blends several therapy approaches to match what a person needs.

She draws from attachment-based ideas to address relationship patterns and from cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also incorporates dialectical skills for emotional regulation and existential themes when questions about meaning come up. In sessions she offers practical skills alongside time to process difficult feelings.

That may look like working on communication habits, building coping skills for anxiety, or processing past wounds at a pace that feels manageable. The focus is on usable tools and clearer choices. With ten years of clinical experience, Eleni aims to guide people toward greater stability and clearer relationships.

She emphasizes collaboration, so people leave sessions with concrete steps and a stronger sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape safety and trust. It can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and work toward more stable connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and habits that maintain anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals, personality, and what feels doable. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT exercises, then shifting to attachment-focused conversations as trust grows.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or parenting responsibilities and to keep continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these tools to teach skills, process experiences, and check progress without requiring travel, helping therapy stay consistent and practical.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
