About Chani

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings before moving into private practice. Chani focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them make changes that matter to them.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and self-esteem. She also addresses relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, and issues that come with chronic illness. Narcissism is listed among the areas she works with alongside attachment and abandonment concerns.

Chani’s approach is grounded in a client-centered framework. She treats therapy as the client’s process and checks in regularly to see how the work is going. She aims to build trust and honesty so people feel comfortable naming goals and trying new strategies.

Practically, she draws from several therapeutic methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used flexibly to match each person’s needs and preferences.

Chani understands that reaching out during a crisis or big life change is difficult. She frames the work as a collaborative journey and supports people as they move toward clearer goals and better daily coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from more convenient locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to schedule around work, school, or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT skills to an online setting so people still learn grounding, coping, and behavior-change strategies that translate into daily life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
