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 common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Her caseload also includes people coping with trauma and addiction-related issues.
Her style in sessions is relaxed and interactive. She encourages people to speak up about what matters to them and helps them set clear goals. Eleni uses practical skills and conversation to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and manage overwhelming feelings.
Eleni integrates several therapy approaches to match each person's concerns. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior techniques to build emotion regulation skills. She will explain options and work with the person to decide what to try first.
Sessions focus on concrete steps as well as understanding where difficult reactions come from. Clients can expect skill-building, chances to talk through difficult events, and attention to how past experiences shape present responses. The pace is collaborative and practical.
Over the course of treatment Eleni supports people in reducing impulsive reactions, rebuilding trust in relationships, and developing routines that help sleep, mood, and daily functioning. She also addresses related areas such as codependency, communication problems, and recovery from substance use or domestic violence where relevant.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connection. Online sessions use this lens to notice recurring interaction styles and practice new ways of relating in everyday situations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual meetings this translates into specific exercises, homework, and skill practice to reduce rumination, anxiety, and anger-driven responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These techniques are taught in short, teachable steps designed to be used between sessions when emotions spike.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That means testing techniques, reviewing what helps, and shifting focus as needed.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, making shorter check-ins easier, and allowing sessions without travel time. Online work also supports reviewing homework together and practicing skills in real time to fit into everyday life.
