About Kameron

Kameron Apostol-Chinn is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with seven years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and career or coaching concerns. He also works with issues that include control problems, first responder stresses, guilt and shame, and veteran-related matters.

He served in the Air Force with a tour in Afghanistan and spent 11 years working for the Department of Veterans Affairs, including six years providing counseling. That background means he has regular exposure to combat-related post-traumatic stress, readjustment challenges, nightmares, and anger linked to military experience. He has worked with both male and female veterans who experienced sexual trauma and with spouses of service members and veterans.

In other clinical roles he has supported people dealing with childhood trauma from verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. He has worked with clients across ages, genders, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientations. His practice includes addressing multicultural concerns and issues specific to veterans and armed forces members.

Kameron uses practical talk and active techniques to help people understand how past experiences shape present responses. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on concrete steps, skill building, and short-term goals where appropriate.

People who want to reduce anger, manage anxiety, sleep better, or work through trauma can expect direct guidance and collaborative planning. He encourages honest conversation about difficult experiences and works with each person to set realistic next steps.

How sessions work

How his approaches work for online sessions

Kameron uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and managing stress by teaching concrete skills and homework to practice between sessions.

He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention exercises. Mindfulness work can reduce reactivity and help people recognize the early signs of rising anger or anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. That means sessions can shift between focused skill-building, reflective discussion, and short-term goal planning.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether you need a shorter check-in during a break, prefer not to travel, or want to use exercises at home between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to work well over distance, focusing on practical steps you can use in day-to-day situations.
