About Aviva
Aviva Euripides is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for issues like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and life changes. Her style is straightforward and calm, aimed at making therapy easy to follow for people feeling overwhelmed.
She begins by listening closely to what is happening now and what the person wants to change. From there she and the client look for small, workable shifts that add up over time. Sessions often involve checking patterns, trying new responses, and tracking what helps people meet their goals.
Aviva trained at the University of California at Berkeley and attended New College of California, where her studies emphasized relevant care for diverse communities. Over two decades she has supervised and trained other clinicians in settings that ranged from counseling offices to acute mental health services. That background informs a steady, experienced approach to clinical problem solving.
Her toolbox draws on client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, narrative work, and psychodynamic ideas. She makes these tools practical rather than theoretical, and adapts them to each person’s situation. She also lists adoption and foster care among areas she addresses when relevant to a person’s concerns.
She uses an initial assessment to build a plan based on what matters most to the client. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits their needs.
How therapy approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. The therapist follows your lead, helps clarify what matters to you, and reflects back ideas so you feel understood. This approach is useful for getting clear about personal goals and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. In plain terms it helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tries small behavioral experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match tools to what actually helps a person over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives because it can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. It also allows for shorter check-ins or conversations that can fit during breaks, and it can make it simpler to continue work between in-person visits when needed.
