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. She helps with common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes work with addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to chronic illness. She also addresses concerns tied to identity, self-esteem, and LGBT-related stress. Her experience spans a wide range of emotional and practical problems brought by life transitions.

Chani adopts a Client-Centered approach that keeps the person's goals at the center of the work. She listens first, then uses approaches that fit each person's needs, including cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance strategies, attachment-focused ideas, and skills-based techniques from dialectical behavior therapy.

She emphasizes honesty and trust as the basis for therapy and asks clients to check in often about how the work feels and whether it is helping. Her style is collaborative and grounded in real-world problem solving rather than jargon.

If someone is facing a big life change, loss, or ongoing stress, she supports them in clarifying goals, building coping skills, and making gradual changes. To begin, a short intake and scheduling step helps match needs with practical next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's pace so goals come from the client rather than the therapist.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time and allowing sessions during a break from work. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when they do not want to be on camera, while others like video for face-to-face interaction; please confirm the exact session options available before booking. Ultimately, online sessions aim to provide consistent, practical support that fits everyday schedules and needs.
