About Eleni
Eleni Speropulos is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting struggles, and relationship concerns. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps rather than long explanations. Her manner is warm and interactive, making it easier for worried parents to talk through pressing problems.
She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and has worked with people who experienced trauma such as abuse or neglect.
Background and approach
That experience informs how she notices patterns in attachment, communication, and coping. She also supports those dealing with sleep disruption, substance issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her approach blends several methods to suit each person.
She uses attachment-informed work to look at early relationship patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses dialectical skills for emotional regulation and existential ideas for meaning and values.
Sessions are collaborative. Clients help shape the plan and pick tools that fit their life. Eleni aims to teach usable skills, offer clear feedback, and create space for emotion without judgment.
For parents, she focuses on reducing overwhelm, improving communication, and rebuilding routines that support sleep and behavior. She helps people balance caregiving responsibilities with self-care and problem solving. This practical focus is designed to produce steady, manageable change.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand how they connect, react, and seek safety in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build better daily habits.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process can include trying a few methods and adjusting the plan as progress and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, progress tracking, or when a written format fits a busy schedule. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around parenting demands, work, and daily life.
