About Aviva

Aviva Euripides, LMFT, helps people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and shifts in life. She uses a practical, goal-minded approach and listens first to understand what a person needs now. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on next steps that make a difference in daily life.

She trained at the University of California at Berkeley and studied clinical work at New College of California. Aviva has 22 years of experience and has supervised and trained other clinicians in settings from counseling offices to acute mental health facilities. That background has deepened her knowledge of how therapy works in different situations.

Sessions begin with careful listening to identify the pieces of a person’s current situation. From there she and the client consider ways to rearrange those pieces so things fit better. The work often combines practical problem solving with attention to personal meaning and history.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to family of origin or blended families. Aviva also supports clients with concerns related to adoption, abandonment, aging, and kink-positive issues when relevant to the person’s goals.

She is experienced with remote counseling and can work via online and phone methods. Prospective clients should confirm session options when they book and will be asked to describe goals so initial sessions can focus on workable steps.

How online work uses evidence-based approaches

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose the next practical steps. This approach is helpful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear tools and exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices and awareness exercises. It can help with stress regulation, emotional ups and downs, and coping with cravings or burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That plan can change as progress is made and needs shift.

Aviva has experience providing counseling by phone and online platforms. Because session options can vary, confirm current formats when you book. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes check-ins easier during a work day, and removes the need to travel to an office.
