About Chani
Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings and now practices privately. Her work covers depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, parenting and family concerns, trauma, addictions, self-esteem, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.
Chani centers sessions on the client's priorities. She uses a client-centered stance that asks what the person wants from therapy and adjusts approaches to fit those goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.
In practice she pays attention to patterns that begin in the family people grew up in. That includes how roles, expectations, and closeness learned in childhood keep showing up in adult life. She helps people identify those patterns, name how they operate today, and try new ways of relating that feel more workable.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, practical steps alongside reflective conversation. Clients may leave with concrete exercises for building emotional skills, managing stress, or practicing different communication habits. Chani asks for regular feedback about how the work is going and adjusts the plan when needed.
She speaks English and sees adult clients in Florida. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling through the provider's online process.
How therapeutic approaches are used in remote work
Chani blends several evidence-based approaches into an online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns learned in childhood and how those patterns affect adult relationships and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in weekly sessions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific remote delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins between busy days, not needing commute time, or being able to join from a quieter spot. Licensed professionals can also use skills practice, worksheets, and emotion-regulation exercises adapted for remote sessions to support progress.
