Narrative ideas can help reframe identity and meaning.
Aviva trained at the University of California at Berkeley and New College of California. She has 22 years of experience and has supervised and trained other clinicians in a variety of settings.

How Aviva Uses Talk, Thought Work, and Mindfulness Online
Aviva commonly draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with the client's priorities and experiences, helping shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention exercises and grounding skills that can help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Aviva treats selection of techniques as collaborative: she listens to your goals, tries different strategies, and adjusts based on what helps. Together you decide which tools to keep using and which to change, so the work fits your life and pace.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Because Aviva has experience providing counseling by telephone and online platforms, she can discuss which ways of meeting might work best for you. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between appointments.
