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 clients in private practice. She brings a steady, grounded approach to career and life concerns alongside emotional and relationship struggles.

Her practice focuses on practical, person-centered care. She helps people address anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, identity and self-esteem, chronic illness, and career questions.

Chani uses a client-centered framework that puts the person's goals first. She checks in regularly about how the work feels and whether it is moving in the right direction. That means sessions are shaped around what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Her clinical toolbox includes methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. These approaches are used to help people build skills, notice patterns, and try new ways of coping.

She emphasizes straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. People can expect clear goals, practical steps between sessions, and ongoing discussion about progress. Chani aims to be a steady partner as clients navigate transitions, career shifts, and emotional challenges.

How Chani’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Chani uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small, doable steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept hard feelings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and following the person's lead so goals and pacing come from the client rather than the therapist.

Those approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust as needed. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process and happens together over several sessions.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also give more scheduling flexibility around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT exercises and client-centered conversation to the online setting so people can work on values, coping skills, and relationship patterns from wherever sessions are scheduled.
