About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings and now sees clients in independent practice. Her background includes work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, and life transitions.
She speaks English and brings steady, practical care to the session. Chani centers her work on a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals first.
Background and approach
She invites people to describe what they want to change and then helps them try strategies that fit their life. She emphasizes trust and clear communication and asks for regular feedback on how the work is going. Her toolbox includes acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-focused ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Those methods translate to hands-on practices like noticing thoughts without judgment, building more helpful habits, and learning new ways to relate to others. Sessions often include skill coaching, problem solving, and paced reflection. Chani has particular experience with stress, coping with life changes, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, and challenges tied to chronic illness.
She also supports people navigating identity, self-esteem, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her practice aims to balance immediate coping skills with longer term changes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their calendar.
Chani offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit different routines and needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Chani uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose values-based actions. That approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes make decisions feel harder.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck. CBT often focuses on clear steps you can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chani treats the choice of method as collaborative and will check in about what feels useful. Together she and the client look at goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy with her can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Chat and messaging are helpful for shorter updates, coaching between sessions, and for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and different routines.
