I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with more than a decade of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting concerns, career challenges, ADHD, OCD, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is more than simply reducing symptoms. It can be part of life’s great work: learning who you are, understanding the patterns that shape you, and choosing how you want to live. Difficult seasons often invite us to examine what matters, release what no longer serves us, and move toward a life grounded in greater clarity, meaning, and integrity. My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard, while also asking thoughtful questions and respectfully challenging beliefs or patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we will explore both the practical realities of your situation and the deeper themes beneath them—identity, purpose, responsibility, connection, choice, and personal growth. My approach incorporates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness-based, narrative, attachment-based, solution-focused, and trauma-informed perspectives. When meaningful to you, our work may also draw upon spiritual and philosophical principles such as interconnectedness, intentional living, cause and effect, acceptance, and alignment between your values and actions. This is not about imposing a particular belief system; it is about making room for the sources of wisdom, meaning, and purpose that resonate with you. Seeking help takes courage. If you are ready to begin—or simply ready to become curious about what could change—I would be honored to walk alongside you. I look forward to working with you. Specialties and areas of focus My primary areas of focus include: Stress, anxiety, panic, and feeling overwhelmed Trauma, emotional abuse, and difficult past experiences Family conflict, relationship concerns, and communication difficulties Parenting, fatherhood, and blended-family challenges Major life changes, identity transitions, and uncertainty Motivation, procrastination, confidence, and self-esteem Anger, emotional regulation, and reactive behavior ADHD, concentration, memory, and focus Grief, loss, loneliness, and emotional disconnection Career difficulties, workplace stress, and burnout Attachment, abandonment, codependency, and boundary concerns Intimacy, trust, infidelity, separation, and divorce Men’s issues, young-adult concerns, and midlife transitions Life purpose, personal values, and spiritual growth Guilt, shame, forgiveness, self-compassion, and self-love Obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and OCD Depression, mood difficulties, and feelings of emptiness LGBTQ+ concerns, sexuality, and authentic self-expression I especially enjoy helping people understand recurring patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and translate insight into meaningful action. Our work can address immediate concerns while also exploring the larger question: What is this chapter of your life asking you to learn, change, or become? Clinical approach My clinical approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. I draw from: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior Client-Centered and humanistic therapy to support authenticity, dignity, and self-directed growth Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships influence present-day connection Mindfulness-based approaches to strengthen awareness, acceptance, and emotional regulation Narrative Therapy to examine the stories you carry and create space for a more empowering narrative Trauma-informed care to promote safety, choice, trust, and sensitivity to past experiences Solution-focused strategies to identify strengths and translate goals into achievable steps I also welcome spiritually integrated work when it fits the client’s beliefs and preferences. This may involve exploring meaning, purpose, personal responsibility, interconnectedness, inner wisdom, or the relationship between intention and action. Spirituality can be approached through a religious tradition, personal philosophy, connection with nature or humanity, or a simple desire to live with greater awareness and purpose. Therapy with me is both reflective and practical. We may explore where a pattern began, what continues to reinforce it, and what it is protecting you from. We will also identify concrete skills, experiments, and next steps that help you practice change outside the therapy room. The goal is not perfection—it is greater awareness, freedom of choice, and alignment with the person you are becoming.

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here! You've taken the very important first step towards a happier future for yourself! My name is Chiara Ascari and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia! I earned my Master's in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1999. I've worked in many different settings, primarily with individuals but also with family groups. We have worked together on challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, parenting, and more. Challenging experiences offer us an opportunity to grow by increasing our self-awareness. Talking with someone outside of your social circle about things going on in your life can be very beneficial in increasing that self-awareness. It can be a safe space to help you move towards a new goal for yourself. I would be honored to be that supportive, empathetic, non-judgmental person that could be just what you need to challenge yourself and grow towards the best version of yourself that you aspire to be. We will do this using primarily client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused therapies but also any other methodology that seems to be the right fit for you. I will meet you where you are and together we will go from there. The great thing about Better Help is that you are welcome to message me any time. Being able to access your counselor as you work through day-to-day problems and the emotions they bring with them is a nice change from your traditional outpatient counseling and can be very beneficial. I frequently check my messages in order to be available for you. I am available for messaging and for live chats at this time. Your preference, your choice. I look forward to working with you!
