About Alan

Alan Cochrane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 35 years of professional experience. He trained in psychology and counseling and has worked across a range of settings, developing a practice informed by depth psychology, mindfulness, and practical skills-based methods.

Background and approach

Based now in Utah, he brings a long career perspective to challenges such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, depression, grief, and ADHD, along with many related areas including trauma, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and career transitions.

He frames his work as a collaborative journey in which he acts as a guide, supporting clients as they explore inner life, discover personal strengths, and learn new ways of responding. His manner blends warmth, humor, and frankness; he emphasizes self-compassion and courage while helping clients notice both constructive habits and patterns that create difficulty.

Sessions often draw on reflective, experiential, and skill-building techniques to address issues like impulsivity, attachment and codependency, control and communication problems, and the emotional aftermath of separation or addiction. Outside of clinical work he values nature, travel, and time in the Southern Utah landscape, and he brings that same appreciation for curiosity and discovery into the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alan commonly integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients to find their own insights; it is useful when someone wants a collaborative, exploratory space to understand feelings and values. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and difficulties like impulsivity or problematic habits.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process and is decided together. The therapist approaches each person as an individual, discussing goals and preferences and adapting techniques over time so that the plan reflects the client's needs and the pace that feels most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working through stress, relationship issues, ADHD-related concerns, and other challenges.
