About Eleni

Eleni Speropulos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oregon with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, depression, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and family-related patterns that continue to affect day-to-day life.

She often helps people trace how family of origin roles and expectations still shape current choices and relationships. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways to relate to others. Eleni combines conversational work with exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions.

Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior techniques, client-centered listening, and existential perspectives. That mix is used to identify recurring patterns, build coping skills, and clarify values. She also has experience addressing issues connected to abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment concerns.

Eleni has supported people dealing with substance use, domestic violence histories, codependency, commitment and communication problems, blended family issues, body image concerns, and caregiver stress. She works with LGBT clients and people coping with loss or major life changes. Her practice aims to help people notice old patterns and try different ways of responding.

To begin, people complete an intake that clarifies goals and preferences. From there she and the client choose strategies and exercises that fit the person’s situation and goals. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior by using structured exercises, homework, and skill practice to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness through focused skill-teaching and practice.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining attachment ideas with CBT or adding DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or remove travel time. Online work supports doing the same practical exercises and skill practice that occur in person, while fitting sessions into everyday life.
