About Eleni

Eleni Speropulos is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients build practical skills, process difficult experiences, and clarify values so they can move forward with greater resilience and agency. Her manner is warm, interactive, and relaxed, emphasizing respect and empathy while inviting clients to shape their own treatment goals.

Eleni integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centered approaches, and she may also draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when helpful. She aims to create individualized plans that address both symptoms and underlying patterns, offering tools for coping as well as space to work through trauma and relational wounds.

People who seek her support can expect collaborative care that balances skill-building with reflective exploration. Eleni frames therapy as a joint process of identifying priorities, practicing new strategies, and cultivating personal growth toward clearer relationships, improved mood, and more effective coping with life changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Many of her core methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds formed early in life, helping people understand relationship dynamics and heal attachment wounds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor a plan that may combine approaches rather than rely on a single method. This joint decision making helps ensure sessions focus on what matters most to the client.

Online formats provide flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy lives, revisit materials between sessions, and use different communication styles according to comfort and convenience. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, share worksheets, and practice skills across these formats to support steady progress.
