About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now practices privately. Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, career issues, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and related areas.
She has spent many years seeing people with varied backgrounds and problems. That includes people coping with chronic illness, cancer, abandonment and attachment issues, eating concerns, and the emotional impact of medical conditions. She also has experience with codependency, communication problems, control issues, and the ripple effects of divorce and separation.
Chani uses a client-centered framework. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and works alongside them. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches when they fit the person's goals.
Trust and honesty are emphasized in how she works. She checks in with clients about progress and direction rather than assuming a path for them. Practical skills and behavior-focused strategies are used alongside discussions about values and relationships.
If someone is feeling overwhelmed by anger, relationship strain, or a major life change, Chani offers straightforward sessions that focus on what the person wants to address. To begin, people follow the practice's intake steps and schedule a first session through the listed process.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions toward them while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It is useful for chronic stress, avoidance, and ongoing anger that ties into values conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, anger reactions, and coping skills practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying skills-based CBT exercises one week and value-focused ACT work the next. Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. They also let people use approaches like skill-building worksheets, in-session practice, and values exercises in a way that fits daily routines. Discuss practical needs and session length during the initial scheduling step so sessions match the client's life and goals.Areas of focus
