About Chani

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience based in Florida. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now sees people in independent practice. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD among other concerns.

She uses a client-centered approach, which means she follows the person’s lead and focuses on their goals. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in trust and honesty.

Background and approach

She regularly checks in about progress and how the work is feeling for the person. Chani blends several methods to meet practical needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.

Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies are used to build present-moment skills and values-based action. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to address patterns in relationships. People come for help with life changes, parenting stress, relationship strain, identity and self-esteem issues, addiction, chronic illness impacts, and career concerns.

She also addresses more specific areas like abandonment, body image, codependency, and communication problems. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for ongoing work. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Chani often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and move toward valued actions. ACT emphasizes small, practical steps and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the person's experience and goals at the center of each session. This approach is about listening, reflecting, and adapting the work to what the person says they need.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Choices about methods are made collaboratively and can shift as the work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical, goal-oriented progress.
