Chani Cochran , LCSW

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she is a licensed mental health professional trained to provide psychotherapy, assessment, and clinical support to individuals and families. Her career includes extensive work in both outpatient and inpatient settings, and she currently maintains a private practice.

She has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, life transitions, parenting and family concerns, trauma and addictions, identity and self-esteem questions, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. She has also worked with issues specific to military members and military families. Her experience spans brief interventions and longer term therapy across varied clinical contexts.

Chani bases her work in a client-centered framework, viewing therapy as the client s process rather than the therapist s. She meets each person where they are and draws on appropriate therapeutic modalities to help them reach the goals they define. Trust and honesty form the foundation of her practice, and she regularly invites clients to reflect on the direction and effectiveness of their work together. Seeking help during a crisis or transition is often difficult, and she offers steady professional support throughout that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Chani integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes the client s own goals and values and creates a nonjudgmental space where people set the pace and direction of their work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by teaching practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values - it can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current intimacy, communication, and trust, making it useful for relationship, family, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chani works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Chani is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options allow therapy to fit around work, family, and daily life, and they make it possible to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
