About Chloe
Chloe Melka is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in California who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. She also works with attachment issues, codependency, sexual concerns including kink and alternative sex culture, and post-traumatic stress. Chloe emphasizes strengths and practical steps so people can move toward clearer choices and healthier connections.
Chloe sees clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for patterns and moments where small changes can make a difference. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to each person, setting realistic goals, and practicing new ways of relating and communicating.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Chloe names options, tries practical exercises in session, and checks in about what feels helpful. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, relationship patterns, and emotional reactions like anger and shame.
Over four years of professional work, Chloe has supported people through recovery from sexual assault and abuse, healing after infidelity, and rebuilding self-worth after harmful dynamics. She aims to create a space where difficult topics can be talked through without judgment, and where progress is measured in small, meaningful steps.
Clients who work with Chloe typically practice communication skills, set boundaries, and explore the roots of codependent patterns. She encourages steady, doable practices that fit into daily life and reinforce new ways of relating.
Approaches that guide online work and healing
Chloe uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she draws on helps people process trauma by naming what happened, noticing how the body and emotions respond, and practicing grounding and coping strategies to reduce overwhelming reactions. This approach is useful for post-traumatic stress and recovery after sexual assault or abuse.Another approach emphasizes patterns in relationships and attachment. It looks at how early connection style shows up in adult intimacy, communication, and codependent habits. Clients learn to identify patterns, set clearer boundaries, and practice new ways of asking for needs to be met.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Chloe works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The therapist and client review what is working and try alternatives when needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during difficult transitions. Different ways of meeting can also let people choose shorter or quieter sessions when that helps maintain focus and momentum.
