Chani Cochran, LCSW

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. The LCSW credential reflects advanced clinical social work training and qualification to provide psychotherapy. She has extensive experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now sees clients in private practice.

Throughout her career she has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, anger, grief and loss, life transitions, parenting and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, identity and self-esteem issues, the emotional impact of chronic illness, and challenges specific to military individuals and families. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment problems, coping with chronic pain or illness, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Chani grounds her work in a Client-Centered framework, which means the therapeutic process follows the client’s goals and pace while she brings appropriate therapeutic modalities as needed. She emphasizes trust and honesty as the foundation of the relationship and routinely invites clients to reflect on how the work is progressing. Seeking help during crisis or transition can be difficult, and she aims to walk alongside clients as they pursue the changes they define for themselves.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Chani Cochran commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and experience, helping people find their own solutions while the therapist provides support and empathy. CBT is a practical approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect present-day intimacy, trust, and relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chani works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach over time based on how the work is progressing.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, family, and other responsibilities. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and adapt to each client’s communication style and schedule.
