About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked across outpatient and inpatient settings and now practices in private care. Chani focuses on concrete problems like anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and relationship struggles including codependency. She also supports people facing chronic illness, grief, parenting strain, and career-related stress.
Her room is guided by a client-centered approach. That means the client sets the pace and direction, and she follows and supports that lead. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and attachment-based work when those fit a person's goals.
Chani emphasizes trust and straightforward feedback. She will regularly ask how the work feels and adjust based on what the person says. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and handling intense emotions in day-to-day life.
She has nearly two decades of experience with trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity concerns. That background informs how she helps people manage symptoms and rebuild routines after big changes. The approach is collaborative and task-oriented when needed.
If someone is starting therapy for the first time, Chani aims to make that first step easier. She encourages open conversation about goals and progress. The focus is on steady, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and trusting. That work can be helpful for intimacy concerns, abandonment issues, and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to see which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches and adapt as needs change, so the plan evolves based on what the client reports and wants to accomplish.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing appointments during workday breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed and reduce the need to arrange childcare or long commutes. Licensed professionals typically use these advantages to keep therapy consistent and practical for everyday schedules.
