About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now sees clients in independent practice. Chani focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck by listening first and working at a comfortable pace.
Her work often addresses common stresses like anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She also helps people with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addiction, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.
Background and approach
Other areas she supports include self-esteem, identity issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Chani uses a client-centered mindset. That means sessions follow the client's goals and priorities.
She checks in frequently to make sure the approach feels helpful and on track for each person. She draws on several practical methods to fit different needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment work, and compassionate client-centered listening.
Techniques are chosen to match what the client wants to accomplish. Chani aims for a direct but warm style in session. Conversations focus on clear goals, coping skills, and everyday adjustments that make a difference.
She encourages honest feedback so the work stays relevant and useful.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps people manage difficult thoughts and feelings so they can live in line with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and cope with anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and connection, and it helps people rework patterns that cause pain in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chani treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients try methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when written reflection feels most comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping therapy consistent.
