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 sees clients in private practice. Her background includes work with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.

People who choose Chani can expect a calm, straightforward style that prioritizes honesty and collaboration. She invites clients to name what matters most to them and to test practical steps that fit everyday life. If you are ready to begin, she guides new clients through a short matching process to get started.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and learning to act toward meaningful values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase chosen action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns into manageable steps. It is useful for stress, anxiety, mood problems, and developing concrete coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build safer ways of relating and communicating in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chani works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in about what's working and adjust approaches as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, 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 more flexible scheduling around work or family. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when needed or choose sessions that do not require video if bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to an online setting while focusing on practical tools you can try between sessions.
