Chani Cochran

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now sees people in private practice. Chani helps with common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the emotional impact of chronic illness.

Her background includes work with trauma, addictions, identity and self-esteem issues, and stress related to parenting, family, and relationships. The biography also notes experience with concerns connected to military life and its effects on loved ones. That breadth informs how she approaches each person who comes to see her.

Chani bases her work on a client-centered way of working. She treats the person in the room as the expert on their life and builds therapy around their goals. She emphasizes trust and honesty and asks clients to check in regularly about how the work is going.

In sessions she draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These tools are used to help people manage symptoms, handle big life changes, and improve relationships.

Chani describes starting therapy as a brave step and offers to walk alongside people during hard transitions. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to move forward and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections; it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, then practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most helpful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online work useful because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use the therapeutic tools named above in remote sessions to practice skills, process grief, and manage symptoms while supporting realistic, day-to-day goals.
