About Alan

Alan Cochrane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah with 35 years of experience. He brings a calm, down-to-earth presence and an interest in how people find one another. He describes his role as a guide who walks alongside clients as they learn more about themselves and what matters to them.

He works in a warm, direct style that includes humor and straightforward feedback. Sessions focus on listening, helping people notice patterns, and trying new ways of responding to old problems. He emphasizes courage, self-compassion, and paying attention to inner signals like intuition.

His background blends several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness are part of his practical toolkit for coping and day-to-day change. He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and experience. Hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas are part of his broader repertoire for deeper exploration.

Over his career he has worked in many settings and with varied concerns. He regularly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and grief, and challenges such as ADHD, self-esteem, and career stresses. He also helps people facing family-of-origin problems, codependency, and issues around commitment and communication.

Sessions aim to identify strengths, clarify unhelpful habits, and build practical skills. The focus is on what the client wants to change and small steps that can fit into daily life. Alan values curiosity and creativity as tools for lasting change.

How approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to help clarify values and choices. This approach helps when people feel stuck or unsure about what they want.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT works well for day-to-day coping and breaking unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It helps with stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions by building steady attention and simple practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick strategies that match goals and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting them over time so they fit how a person likes to work.

Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments, reduce travel time, and fit short check-ins into a busy day. Some formats may also be better for lower bandwidth or a quicker conversational check-in, so discuss practical needs when you first schedule.
