About Aviva
Aviva Euripides is a California LMFT with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps adults with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career stress, and the life changes that often arrive in young adulthood. She also works with issues around identity, addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem.
Aviva describes her work as practical and solution focused, grounded in clinical training. She begins by listening to where a person is now and what they want to change. From there she and the client track what helps and adjust the plan over time.
Her clinical background includes a degree from the University of California at Berkeley and further training at New College of California. She has supervised and trained other clinicians in settings that range from counseling offices to acute mental health facilities. That experience informs how she structures treatment and assesses progress.
Sessions draw on a mix of approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative ideas about life stories, and psychodynamic thinking about patterns. Aviva explains these methods in plain terms and uses whichever tools seem useful for the person sitting across from her.
She has substantial experience offering counseling by telephone and online, and she frames virtual work as another way to get consistent support. Before committing to a plan she listens, reviews goals, and checks in about how each method is working.
How Aviva uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the person's own goals. It focuses on understanding your experience and helping you make decisions that fit your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and help with stress, anxiety, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Aviva treats that choice as collaborative - she and the client review the goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Expect ongoing conversation about which tools are useful and which need changing.
The biography notes she has extensive experience with telephone and online counseling, but confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require travel. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to a virtual format so progress continues between meetings.
