About Eleni
Eleni Speropulos helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, grief, parenting strain, sleep troubles, and trauma. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Oregon with ten years of clinical experience. Eleni writes plainly and listens with warmth and respect.
Eleni keeps sessions relaxed and interactive. She lets people have a clear voice in planning treatment. She focuses on practical skills and real-life changes rather than jargon.
How Eleni works
The goal is to leave each session with something useful to try. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.
Dialectical behavior ideas are included for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Eleni pays attention to how identity, past losses, and life transitions affect day-to-day functioning. She supports people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment struggles, and sexual expression concerns such as kink and BDSM.
She also helps with blended family issues, caregiving stress, and co-occurring substance concerns. Sessions are built collaboratively, with clear goals and steps to track progress. Eleni aims to combine empathy with practical tools so people can feel steadier and more capable in everyday life.
She encourages small experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations in current relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice patterns and try new interaction choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. In online sessions this often includes simple homework, thought records, and behavior experiments discussed over video or messaging.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT skills, or a mix of approaches so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school. Therapists can assign short exercises between sessions and review progress across formats to keep momentum.
