About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has provided care in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now practices in private practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, life transitions, parenting and relationship concerns, trauma, addictions, identity and self-esteem, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.
Chani’s day-to-day approach centers on a client-centered framework. She treats the work as the client's process and regularly checks in about how therapy is progressing. She focuses on building trust and honest feedback so people can say when a direction feels helpful or when they want to change course.
Her background includes nearly two decades working with diverse populations across settings. That experience informs practical skills for coping with crises, navigating major life changes, and addressing recurring patterns such as attachment or codependency concerns. She also brings experience with issues that come up alongside mental health struggles, like chronic illness and caregiving stress.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Expect straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment strategies, and DBT skills when those fit the goals. Attachment-based ideas shape conversations about how past relationships affect current reactions.
Chani asks people to take an active role in shaping their care. She will help set goals, try different techniques, and pause to review what is working. If someone wants to address anger, she will work through triggers, communication patterns, and coping skills to reduce harmful reactions and improve relationships.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than reacting automatically. It can be useful for long-term struggles like recurring anger or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different ways of thinking and acting; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing hot reactions in the moment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions, which can clarify why certain situations trigger anger or withdrawal.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chani treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what the client reports about progress and comfort.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. They can also let someone practice skills in the settings where problems occur, like discussing a difficult work interaction after it happens. Licensed professionals can use several approaches online, and Chani will adapt methods to work effectively in the chosen format.
