Aviva Euripides

Aviva Euripides is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She listens first to understand what feels out of balance, then works with each person to set practical steps toward change. Aviva brings 22 years of experience to conversations about self-esteem, career strain, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues.

Her approach blends practical problem-solving with deeper reflection. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow what each person finds most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help slow racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present.

Aviva trained at the University of California at Berkeley and at New College of California, where she focused on meeting the needs of diverse communities. She has supervised and trained other clinicians and has worked in counseling and acute mental health settings. That background shaped a straightforward, experience-informed style.

In sessions she starts by mapping out the pieces of a person’s life as they see them. Then she and the client experiment with rearrangements that could work better. The work aims to be practical and tied to real goals rather than abstract theory.

She has substantial experience offering counseling by telephone and online platforms and is comfortable using those formats. If you want to explore issues like grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD, or identity concerns such as LGBT matters, she can help you talk through options and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. Online sessions can use that same pace: the therapist pays attention to your priorities and reflects them back to help you find next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change thinking and behavior. In remote sessions, CBT can be used to identify patterns, try small experiments between meetings, and review what worked or didn’t work.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into daily life to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These techniques are easily taught and practiced during online conversations and between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you choose methods based on your goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as you try different techniques.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats can change. The therapist has experience with telephone and online platforms and notes that remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, not having to commute, and greater scheduling flexibility for early mornings or weekends.
