About Aviva

Aviva Euripides offers practical, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She uses clear listening and direct work to help clients identify what isn’t working and try new ways forward.

Aviva brings 22 years of experience as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - in California and explains steps plainly so parents can follow along. Sessions include talk, skills practice, and planning that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

Her style aims to be solution-oriented while remaining informed by deeper clinical thinking. She starts by listening carefully to what’s happening now and what matters most to the client. From there she and the client test small changes and look for patterns that keep problems stuck, like sleep trouble, low mood, or difficulty with boundaries.

Aviva blends several therapy methods to suit each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice long-standing patterns.

Narrative and mindfulness tools help people rewrite stressful stories and calm their attention. She has taught and supervised other clinicians in a range of settings, from counseling offices to acute mental health services, which shaped her practical approach. Aviva is experienced with phone and online counseling and can explain how different formats work.

Work is organized around clear goals. Clients can expect straightforward homework, short-term experiments, and regular review of progress. The aim is to leave people with tools they can use long after sessions end.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience. The therapist follows what matters most to the person and shapes sessions around those priorities, which helps with issues like self-esteem and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching simple exercises and experiments to change daily routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before, then adjust methods together as therapy progresses. That way the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around school, work, or family time. For many clients, remote sessions make it easier to practice new skills between meetings and stay consistent with short, frequent check-ins.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
