About
Aviva Kovacs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and LCSW-C with over 23 years of clinical experience supporting people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and the lingering impact of trauma. She works with individuals who notice anxiety showing up in the body, who feel alone even when surrounded by others, or who feel stuck and cannot quite name why. She also helps clients who recognize painful patterns in relationships, carry old secrets, or know that a traumatic chapter is over but still find it difficult to move forward.
Her work can be tailored to either short-term, solution-focused therapy or longer-term support, depending on what the client needs most. Aviva often offers individualized, practical suggestions early on, including during the first session, to help ease symptoms and create a sense of traction. She is also a certified trauma specialist and a certified adolescent trauma specialist, bringing focused training to trauma-informed care across different stages of life.
Aviva approaches therapy in a down-to-earth way and aims to meet clients with compassion and without judgment. She is committed to helping people move from despair toward greater hope and strength, while building the insight and tools needed for lasting change.

Practical, Trauma-Informed Therapy - Online and On Your Terms
Aviva Kovacs uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through anxiety, trauma-related stress, and relationship patterns that feel hard to break. In solution-focused work, sessions emphasize clear goals and practical next steps, which can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck and wants tools they can start using right away. A trauma-informed approach helps clients make sense of how past experiences can continue to affect thoughts, emotions, and the body, while building steadier coping strategies for the present. Longer-term therapy can also provide space to understand deeper patterns such as abandonment concerns, attachment issues, or codependency, and to practice healthier ways of relating over time.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aviva collaborates with each client to clarify what they want from therapy and to shape the work around their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as things become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy week, keep momentum between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable on any given day.
