About Alan
Alan Cochrane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with more than 35 years of clinical experience. He brings a long-standing interest in depth and personal growth to his work, combining talk-based methods with experiential tools rooted in mindfulness and hypnotherapy.
Background and approach
Alan frames therapy as a collaborative exploration where curiosity, courage, and self-compassion guide change. He describes his role as a guide who helps clients turn inward to recognize personal strengths, understand recurring patterns, and develop practical skills for everyday life.
His manner is warm, direct, and often infused with gentle humor, helping clients face difficult material while also accessing resilience. Alan supports people through concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem and career stresses, as well as a range of attachment and intimacy issues.
Based in the red rock region of southwestern Utah, Alan integrates client-centered sensibilities with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of Jungian and mindfulness-oriented work. He emphasizes identifying what is skillful within a person and building new, adaptive ways of relating to thoughts, emotions, and behavior to foster greater authenticity and well-being.
Approaches for Online Growth and Practical Change
Alan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work to address both immediate symptoms and deeper personal values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning concrete skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore feelings and discover their own solutions through empathy and active listening.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist and client evaluate which methods feel most useful and adapt over time based on goals and preferences. Alan aims to combine practical strategies with supportive reflection so clients can build skills while honoring their personal process.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to schedule work around their lives, continue momentum between in-person commitments, and choose the format that best fits their comfort level and daily routine.
