About Alan
Alan Cochrane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing from Utah with more than 35 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He trained in psychology and counseling, earning a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology with a transpersonal emphasis, and holds additional certifications in Addiction Studies and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Alan frames his work as a collaborative exploration, guiding clients as they examine inner patterns, strengthen intuition, and move toward more authentic self-expression.
His style blends warmth with directness and often includes reflective, experiential methods drawn from traditions such as Internal Family Systems, client-centered care, CBT, hypnotherapy, and Jungian-informed work. He encourages courage, self-compassion, and humor as resources during change, and he attends to both strengths and areas that feel unskillful or wounded.
Clients seeking help with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, trauma, mood concerns, attention challenges, or career and parenting difficulties will find an approach that values curiosity and practical growth. Alan lives in the Utah desert region and brings an appreciation for nature and creativity into his therapeutic perspective.
He positions himself as a guide who supports clients in uncovering deeper truths and developing skills for navigating life’s transitions and relational challenges.
Integrating approaches for online healing and growth
Internal Family Systems (IFS) frames emotional difficulty as interactions among inner parts and a central Self; it invites gentle curiosity toward those parts and helps people reduce internal conflict and increase self-leadership. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's pace and supports self-discovery and personal agency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to produce practical changes in mood and daily functioning.
Finding the best approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Alan uses these modalities flexibly, blending exploratory and skills-based practices so clients can try what fits and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different modalities, and access support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service region.
