About Chani

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has provided care across outpatient and inpatient settings and now sees clients in independent practice.

Background and approach

Over her career she has addressed a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD among other focuses. Her work is grounded in a client-centered framework that prioritizes each person’s goals and perspective.

She draws from evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to tailor support to an individual’s needs. Trust and open communication are central to how she collaborates with clients, with regular check-ins about progress and direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to improve current relationships and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for intimacy, communication, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chani emphasizes collaboration when selecting methods. She works with clients to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, checking in regularly to ensure the plan feels appropriate and effective.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from Florida-based licensed professionals without geographic travel.
