About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now practices privately. Her background includes helping people with depression, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, trauma, addictions, self-esteem, and the emotional impact of chronic illness.
She uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's priorities first. That means sessions focus on the goals the client names. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and dialectical behavior therapy when those methods fit the work.
In sessions she emphasizes clear, honest communication about progress. She asks clients to check in about how therapy is going and adjusts the plan based on their feedback. That keeps the work practical and geared to day-to-day life.
Her experience includes time in inpatient settings and outpatient clinics, which shaped her skills with crisis, transition, and complex problems. She has supported people facing career shifts, relationship strain, parenting stresses, chronic illness, and issues around identity and intimacy.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation and active problem-solving. The therapist focuses on building trust and using tools that fit the client's routine and goals.
How sessions work
How Chani uses therapeutic approaches online
Chani uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, doable experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and trouble with daily routines.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses. That approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect parenting, intimacy, and trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking in, and adjusting what they do together based on what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a quieter setup is needed. These practical benefits often make it easier to keep therapy consistent with day-to-day life.
