Chani Cochran , LCSW

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she holds a professional license to provide clinical social work services and has worked across both outpatient and inpatient settings before moving into private practice. Her background includes supporting people through depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, life transitions, parenting and family concerns, relationship challenges, trauma and addiction, and identity and self-esteem issues.

She also works with the emotional impact of chronic illness and with concerns specific to military service members and military families. In addition to these areas, her practice addresses abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, body image, cancer and chronic pain or illness, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, eating and food-related difficulties, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin dynamics.

Chani’s approach is grounded in a client-centered framework that prioritizes the client’s goals and pace. She emphasizes trust and honest feedback, inviting regular check-ins about how the work is progressing and adjusting methods as needed. Seeking help during a crisis or major life change is a substantial step, and she aims to walk alongside clients as they move toward the changes they want to make.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Licensed Clinician

Chani Cochran integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s own goals and lived experience, creating a collaborative environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, helping people move toward meaningful life changes despite internal obstacles. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can reduce symptoms and improve problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chani works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their situation, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure the plan remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Chani is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or elsewhere, and access support that fits into everyday life.
