About Chaya

Chaya Aspir is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and issues related to identity and trauma. She brings a calm, respectful approach and aims to make starting therapy feel achievable. Chaya holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and has ten years of clinical experience in the field.

Chaya works with people facing depression, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes supporting those coping with life changes and challenges that can follow trauma and abuse.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and the plan to each person’s situation. She uses mindfulness-based exercises to build awareness and reduce overwhelm. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Chaya has experience with a wide range of focused concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and fertility-related distress. She also supports people affected by separation, family of origin problems, and first responder or veteran-related experiences.

If you are dealing with isolation, guilt, infidelity, or gender dysphoria, she aims to create a respectful space to talk it through. Chaya’s approach is practical and paced to what each person can manage right now. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Mindfulness and psychodynamic work in online sessions

Chaya uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice physical and emotional experience in the moment and reduce reactivity. These practices can help when anxiety, stress, or body image distress feel overwhelming.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns in relationships and early experiences that keep repeating. That work can make sense of difficult reactions and guide changes people want to make in their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chaya will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in about how a technique is working and adjusts the plan together.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow continuity when life circumstances change. It also supports shorter check-ins or a mix of session styles to match energy and bandwidth on any given day.
