About Aviva
Aviva Euripides is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens first to understand where someone is starting from. That approach helps her and the client set clear, practical goals together.
She uses straightforward methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits, build stronger relationships, and cope with big life shifts.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in real-world problem solving and shaped by the client’s values and priorities. Aviva brings 22 years of clinical experience to these conversations. Aviva trained at the University of California at Berkeley and New College of California.
Her background includes supervising and training clinicians in a range of settings, from outpatient counseling to acute mental health facilities. That work informed her practical focus and comfort with complex cases. In session she starts by listening closely to what is not working and what matters most to the person seeking help.
From there she and the client try different ways to rearrange challenging patterns, whether those involve thoughts, behaviors, or relationship habits. She describes therapy as a mix of careful listening and hands-on problem solving. Aviva is experienced in providing counseling by phone and online, and she schedules live chat sessions midday on weekdays, with early morning and weekend video or phone options.
She practices in California and offers sessions in English.
Approaches that translate well online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and guiding the conversation toward their goals. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what needs to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and introduces practical steps to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you try methods that fit your needs and adjust them as you learn what helps. That collaborative process shapes what happens in ongoing sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for early morning check-ins. Live chat and messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit care into a busy life while still working with a licensed professional.
