About Aviva
Aviva Euripides helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of clinical experience and speaks English. Aviva focuses on practical steps people can use day to day while also paying attention to the deeper patterns behind their struggles.
She begins by listening to what is most pressing and then maps out small, achievable goals.
How Aviva works
Sessions blend client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. This approach aims to reduce immediate symptoms while building new habits and coping skills. Aviva also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring themes in a person’s life.
That can help when problems come back or feel connected to past experiences. She tailors the mix of methods to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. Her background includes training and supervision of other clinicians and clinical work in a range of settings, from counseling offices to acute mental health facilities.
She trained at the University of California at Berkeley and New College of California, where community relevance was emphasized. Aviva is experienced with video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She describes online and phone counseling as a different way of working that many people find convenient and effective once they settle into it.

Online support options
Flexible approaches for online therapy and remote work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique concerns. It emphasizes empathy and collaboration and helps people feel heard while they decide on next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches simple, practical strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress becomes clear.
Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
