Aviva Euripides , LMFT

Aviva Euripides is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience who combines practical, solution-focused work with a rigorous academic grounding. She approaches therapy by tracking and assessing how interventions help a person meet their goals, favoring methods that are both pragmatic and informed by clinical training. Her style centers on careful listening and collaborative problem solving, allowing her to understand how the pieces of a client's life fit together and where thoughtful rearrangement might create better functioning and meaning.

Aviva graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and pursued clinical training at New College of California, where she focused on serving a diverse community with relevance and cultural sensitivity. She has supervised and trained clinicians in settings ranging from the counselor's office to acute mental health facilities, experience that contributes to a deep understanding of clinical practice across levels of care. Her areas of focus include depression, anxiety, life changes, self-esteem, career concerns, and relationship issues. She also has extensive experience providing counseling via telephone and online platforms and is comfortable using these formats as part of therapeutic work.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Aviva draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting a person's autonomy - often helpful for issues related to relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools for managing thoughts and responses.

Mindfulness Therapy is another component of her practice, offering simple attention and awareness techniques that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation. These practices can complement other approaches and support coping during periods of change or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aviva works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Aviva can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home or work, and choose the format that best supports the work at hand.
