Meet Chloe Kinman, LCSW
Trauma & Anxiety Therapist in Los Angeles, CA
Virtual therapy throughout California & Washington
As a trauma & anxiety therapist, I know what it’s like to be highly self-aware and still feel stuck in the same patterns. I spent a long time understanding my anxiety intellectually while still walking through the world feeling like I had done something wrong, that someone was upset with me, or that I needed to work harder to earn rest, approval, or safety.
I also know what it feels like to live in a body that is asking for care, slowness, and attention while another part of you wants to keep pushing forward no matter the cost. Navigating autoimmune illness forced me to confront the ways I had learned to override my own needs and disconnect from my body in order to keep functioning. That experience deeply shaped the way I approach therapy; focusing on compassion, attunement, and the belief that insight alone is not enough if your nervous system still feels unsafe.
No one is mad at you.
You’re not in trouble.
There’s nothing wrong with you.
I’m here to help you create lasting and real change.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you create changes that you can actually feel in your daily life and not just understand intellectually.
In our work together, we slow things down and pay attention to what’s happening beneath the surface such as: your emotions, stress responses, thought patterns, and the ways your body reacts when you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally unsafe. While insight is important, lasting change often requires more than understanding why you feel the way you do. It also involves helping your nervous system learn that it no longer has to stay in survival mode.
EMDR is a central part of my work and is integrated within a broader framework that includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emotion-focused work, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation. Rather than using EMDR in isolation, I incorporate it alongside these approaches to help clients process experiences that may be contributing to current struggles, reduce emotional reactivity, and create shifts that feel meaningful and lasting. This allows us to address not only the thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck, but also the underlying experiences and beliefs that continue to influence how you see yourself, others, and the world around you.
