Aviva Euripides, LMFT

Aviva Euripides is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a practical, solution-focused approach to clinical work. She frames therapy around tracking progress and assessing how interventions help clients meet their goals, balancing pragmatic techniques with academic and clinical rigor. Aviva earned her degree from the University of California at Berkeley and continued her clinical training at New College of California, where the emphasis was on serving a diverse community with relevance and meaning.

Her background includes supervising and training clinicians across a range of treatment settings, from counselors' offices to acute mental health facilities, which has contributed to a deep and grounded understanding of clinical practice. Aviva specializes in areas such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life changes, self-esteem, career issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting and family problems, and many related challenges that affect daily functioning and well-being.

Therapy with Aviva begins with careful listening to understand where the pieces are in a client’s life puzzle, then collaboratively considering ways to rearrange and reposition those pieces to better serve the client. She has extensive experience providing counseling by phone and online and is comfortable working across video calls, live chat, and messaging. Aviva typically offers live chat appointments between 10 am and 4 pm Monday through Friday and video or phone sessions early mornings and on weekends.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Aviva uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting clients as they explore what matters most to them and how they want to change.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she employs to help people develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Aviva works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps the client make progress.

Online therapy with Aviva is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without reorganizing daily life, while maintaining the structure and continuity that supports effective therapy.
