Chani Cochran, LCSW

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 maintains a independent practice. Chani draws on a broad background to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction concerns.

Her style centers on a client-centered approach. That means the person sets the pace and goals, and Chani helps guide that work using methods that fit each situation. She places strong emphasis on honesty and building trust as the foundation for therapy. She asks clients to check in regularly about how the work is going and adjusts as needed.

Chani uses several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs, including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These methods are used to address things like self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.

Her background includes long-term experience with people navigating life transitions, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and co-occurring issues. She also supports those working through commitment or communication problems, codependency, abandonment and attachment wounds, and body image or eating-related concerns.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Chani uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and commit to actions that matter to them. ACT often focuses on noticing thoughts and taking steps toward a chosen life even when feelings are difficult.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relational patterns affect trust and closeness. This work helps people understand recurring relationship and intimacy challenges and learn new ways to connect.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chani will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. She checks in often and adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins between appointments. They also let people work with licensed professionals from their own region while keeping appointments during life transitions or work breaks.
