About Alan
Alan Cochrane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 35 years of experience. He works from Utah and brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions. He aims to help people sort through stress, addiction, anxiety, ADHD, and life changes so they can move forward more clearly.
He trained in counseling psychology and has long worked across many settings. His background includes attention to grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to family of origin.
Background and approach
He draws on several ways of working so each person gets what fits them best. In sessions he listens closely and responds without judgment. He uses plain language and a warm but direct style.
Humor is part of his approach when it helps lighten hard topics and keep progress moving. He often focuses on what already helps a person and what gets in the way. That can mean practical exercises, talking through patterns, or guided imagery and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate.
He also draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and mindfulness skills to manage stress and impulsivity. People who connect well with him tend to want an experienced guide who is steady and curious. He supports exploration of identity, coping strategies, and clearer communication.
His aim is to help people build more reliable ways to handle daily demands and long-standing struggles.
Approach and online care that adapts to you
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person as an individual. It helps build trust, clarify goals, and find strengths that support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood changes, and impulsivity. Hypnotherapy uses guided imagery and focused attention to access inner resources and shift unhelpful habits or reactions.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and practical rather than fixed to one style.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that matters, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options support flexibility for scheduling, quicker follow-ups between sessions, and ways to keep progress moving even when life gets crowded.
