Chani Cochran, LCSW

Chani Cochran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings and currently sees people in private practice. Her caseload has included depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting strain, and relationship and family concerns.

She uses a client-centered approach, which means the client guides the work and the therapist follows. Sessions focus on practical steps the client wants to take. She asks for regular feedback about how the work is progressing and adjusts the plan when needed.

Chani blends evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy with attachment-informed ideas. That combination is used to address patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that keep problems stuck. In session she helps people notice automatic reactions and try different responses that better match their goals.

People often come for help after major life changes, losses, or when longstanding habits cause distress. She also supports those facing chronic illness, career stress, parenting challenges, and identity concerns related to LGBT issues. Sessions include emotion regulation tools, communication practice, and planning for concrete next steps.

Her style is straightforward and interactive. She checks in about what is working and what needs to change. New clients start by describing their current concern, and together they set clear, short-term goals.
