About Aviva
Aviva Euripides is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She listens first to understand what feels out of place. Then she works with clients to identify practical steps that fit their goals and daily life.
Her approach blends focused problem-solving with longer-term exploration. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and narrative techniques are added when helpful to build awareness and reshape personal stories. Aviva trained at the University of California at Berkeley and New College of California. She has supervised and trained other clinicians in settings ranging from counseling offices to acute mental health facilities.
That background informs a clear, steady style in sessions and a familiarity with complex clinical situations. In practical terms she begins by mapping where the pieces of a person’s life are now. Together they consider small experiments and adjustments to test what helps.
Sessions can include talk, skill practice, and short exercises to try between meetings. She has substantial experience providing counseling by phone and online and offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based options. People who prefer a collaborative, practical, and thoughtful approach will find her style easy to work with.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. The therapist creates space for a person to name what matters and move at their own pace, which can work well over video or text when someone needs straightforward support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical tools and short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, and those exercises can be assigned and reviewed during video calls or messaging sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match those goals. If something isn’t helping, they adjust plans together to find a better fit.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people work through material face to face when that is important. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options provide flexibility so therapy can be shaped around a person’s schedule and needs.
