About Chani Cochran
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she is a master's-level clinician trained in psychotherapy and clinical social work, and she has worked extensively in both outpatient and inpatient settings before moving into private practice. Her background includes supporting people through a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and loss, parenting and family challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and identity struggles, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.
She approaches therapy from a client-centered framework, which means the process is guided by each person’s goals and values rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Chani draws on a variety of evidence-informed modalities - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - to tailor interventions that fit the individual. Trust and honest feedback are central to her work; she routinely checks in about how the therapeutic process is progressing and adjusts course in collaboration with the person in therapy.
Chani has supported diverse clients through life transitions, career challenges, parenting stresses, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment and relationship difficulties. She emphasizes meeting people where they are, helping them define what meaningful change looks like, and guiding them toward practical strategies and greater resilience. Seeking help during a crisis or a period of change is a significant step, and Chani views the therapeutic relationship as a shared journey toward the goals the client sets.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Chani integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, helping people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

She centers the process in a client-centered way, prioritizing each person’s goals and pacing so that interventions fit individual needs and circumstances.
