Aviva Euripides, LMFT

Aviva Euripides is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and family of origin issues. She also addresses grief, addiction, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and a range of other personal challenges. Aviva conducts therapy in English and does not accept international clients.

Her approach begins with careful listening to understand how the pieces of a person's life fit together now. She draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central while using practical problem-solving strategies. Aviva uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and experiment with different responses.

Aviva trained at the University of California at Berkeley and New College of California. She has supervised and trained other clinicians in settings that included outpatient counseling and acute mental health facilities, which shaped her practical clinical judgment. Her background emphasizes making therapy relevant to a diverse range of life situations.

In sessions she focuses on what is most useful next - for example reorganizing routines, adjusting communication habits, or shifting a narrative someone tells about themselves. She describes the work as solution-focused but grounded in clinical understanding. Clients are invited to try new ways of managing stress, relationships, and parenting demands.

To begin, she asks people to describe their current situation and goals so she can recommend concrete steps. She has experience providing counseling by phone and online and describes these modes as similar in many ways to in-person sessions once a person becomes accustomed to them.
