About Aviva
Aviva Euripides is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses stress, addiction, grief, intimacy questions, and blended family issues.
Aviva frames work as practical and outcomes-oriented. She starts by listening to where things feel stuck. Then she and the client track what helps and adjust strategies to meet their goals. Sessions focus on clear steps and real-world changes rather than abstract ideas.
Her background includes a degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and further study at New College of California that emphasized serving diverse communities. She has supervised and trained other clinicians across settings from counseling offices to acute mental health facilities. That supervision work informed how she assesses clinical decisions and treatment progress.
In sessions she blends approaches to match the problem at hand. Expect a mix of client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative strategies, and psychodynamic perspectives when helpful. The aim is to use methods that make sense for the person and the situation.
Aviva has substantial experience providing counseling by phone and online. She notes this can take a little getting used to but often fits into busy schedules. Before any plan is set she reviews goals and tracks how each step is working so adjustments can be made as needed.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Aviva commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so clients can decide what changes to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify small, practical steps that reduce anxiety or depression.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns in their thinking and on narrative techniques to examine the stories people tell about relationships and family life. Each approach is described simply in sessions so clients can choose what feels most useful.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and track whether those methods are helping. Adjustments follow if something is not working; the focus is on what makes daily life more manageable.
Aviva has experience with phone and online counseling and notes these formats can fit into busy routines. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed.
