Eleni Speropulos, LMFT

Eleni Speropulos is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She works with issues such as grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT concerns and those dealing with domestic violence or substance use challenges.

Her sessions are relaxed and interactive. She listens carefully and treats people with respect and empathy. Clients take an active role in setting goals and shaping the work.

Eleni draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods to build practical skills and understanding. She also brings elements of dialectical behavior approaches and existential perspectives when they fit the client's needs. The result is a mix of skill-building and meaning-focused reflection.

In session she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and strengthen important relationships. She also works through trauma responses and the effects of past neglect or abuse when needed. Treatment plans are tailored to each person's situation and goals.

With ten years of clinical work, Eleni aims to create a steady, supportive space for change. She emphasizes clear strategies and real-world steps so clients can manage emotions, improve communication, and move toward more satisfying daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In online work this can look like talking through patterns in close connections and trying new ways to communicate and feel secure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful ones. Sessions often include homework, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can practice between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and emphasizes empathy and respect; the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead while helping them name what matters.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as work progresses, with adjustments made together based on what's helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and practicing communication skills, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins, skill reminders, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy days.
