Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Chani Cochran
Chani Cochran draws on a client-centered approach that places the client’s goals and experience at the center of therapy. This approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping individuals articulate what they want from therapy and guiding the process at their pace. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions - it helps people build a values-driven life even amid persistent stress or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and helps clients explore how early connections influence current relationships, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment, and family-of-origin concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chani works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, preferences, and goals. She integrates techniques as appropriate and checks in regularly to ensure the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, health, or geography. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, schedule sessions more easily, and continue care during transitions or busy seasons of life.
