About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now sees clients in independent practice. Chani focuses on practical help for everyday problems like anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes.
Her background includes supporting people dealing with trauma, addictions, chronic illness, and identity or self-esteem concerns. She also helps with relationship and family of origin issues, parenting strain, career stress, and concerns related to attention and mood.
Background and approach
Her experience spans many settings, so she is familiar with different kinds of challenges and how they show up in daily life. Chani uses a client-centered way of working. That means she follows each person’s lead and shapes sessions around their goals.
She checks in often about how the work is going and adjusts as needed. She also draws on several approaches when useful, including cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, acceptance and commitment strategies, and attachment-focused work. Those tools are used to help people build better coping skills, notice patterns, and practice new ways of responding.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats like video and phone, as well as live chat and text-based messaging. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Blending proven approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward those values, which can help with anger, depression, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and reacting. Working through attachment issues can improve trust, communication, and how someone manages intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then choose methods together. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
