About Alan

Alan Cochrane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing from Utah with 35 years of clinical experience. He draws on a long career across different settings to guide clients toward greater self-awareness and clearer choices. He uses a warm, direct style and often brings humor into sessions to ease difficult conversations.

He views therapy as a shared journey where curiosity and courage matter. He helps people notice patterns that hold them back and learn new ways of responding.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as inner discovery, balancing insight with everyday tools. His background includes work with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. He also addresses themes like attachment, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin problems.

Those facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, or struggles with impulse and control may also find relevant support. Alan draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Jungian work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices. He adapts these approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single script.

The aim is practical growth and a clearer sense of self over time. Outside the office he enjoys hiking and spending time in desert and red rock landscapes. That connection with nature often informs his belief in slowing down, noticing, and making steady changes that add up.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Jungian-informed work focuses on symbols, dreams, and the inner life to help people connect with deeper parts of themselves and understand recurring patterns. This approach can be useful for those who want to explore meaning, identity, and long-standing emotional themes.

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and creating a supportive space so people can find their own answers. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and a guided space to try new ways of being.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when a person wants concrete tools to feel better day to day.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as needed. That partnership helps tailor sessions to personal needs rather than sticking to a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
