About Chiara Ascari

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!

“Chiara helped me through One of the most difficult times of my life. She gave me techniques to aid me in pulling through my situations and was so wonderful to chat with about everything I was going through.

“Chiara helped me through a critical period of my life. She is kind and will go above and beyond for her patients. I’m very pleased to have found her.”

“Dr. Ascari has been a tremendous help to me. When I started therapy, I had been having panic attacks that started out of nowhere. They would hit me with no warning, whether I was out or home. I was so fearful of having them, I didn't leave my home for almost 2 months. Dr. Ascari shared some wonderful tools to guide me through the attacks. After several months, the attacks are less frequent and now I know how to cope with them. I am so thankful I can go out without being afraid of having an attack. If I feel one coming on, I know what to do to catch it before it gets out of hand. Thank you, Dr. Ascari!!”

“Chiara is an amazing therapist! She is so kind and considerate and is willing to work with your schedule. She offers an array of different strategies to tackle your problems and is very proactive on checking to see how the strategies are going during the week between sessions. She is very responsive to messages, and provides excellent resources for you to use between sessions. I would highly recommend her!”

“Chiara is a kind and thoughtful therapist. She leads me with a gentle hand and gives me as much guided support as I request of her. I am so pleased I was matched with Chiara.”

“Chiara has been very kind and easy to work with and made a great first time therapy experience for me. She helped me stay positive and provided great tools to use going forward.”

“Having Chiara as my therapist has been an amazing experience! She has empowered me with the tools I needed to better myself and improve my relationships with others. Chiara always takes time out of her day every weekend to wish me well and always encourages me to message her when I feel the need! This is a true reflection of how much of a genuine and caring therapist she is. This was my first time seeking therapy and I couldn't have asked for a better match!”
