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 facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and life transitions. She also helps people dealing with grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and identity-related matters such as LGBT issues.

Her approach is practical and focused on goals. She begins by listening to how each person experiences their current problems. That assessment guides clear next steps and measurable goals rather than vague promises.

Aviva draws on several established therapy methods to address patterns that keep people stuck. She uses client-centered listening to make sense of someone’s immediate needs. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She incorporates mindfulness and narrative elements to increase awareness and reframe personal stories.

Her training includes a degree from the University of California at Berkeley and further clinical study at New College of California. She has supervised other clinicians and worked in settings that range from counseling offices to acute mental health facilities, which informs her clinical judgment.

Aviva has substantial experience providing counseling by telephone and online platforms. She describes online work as another way to do the same practical clinical tasks, once people get used to the format. For people wanting to start, she asks for a short intake to clarify goals and then schedules a first session so work can begin.
