About Alan
Alan Cochrane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with 35 years of experience. He brings a calm, grounded presence and a straightforward style that helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship challenges. He uses language that is plain and direct so people know what to expect in sessions.
Alan describes his role as a guide who works with clients to explore inner patterns and personal truth.
Background and approach
He favors an approach that mixes talk therapy with experiential tools. He values humor and compassion and encourages curiosity about emotional life rather than self-judgment. His background spans many settings and decades of clinical work.
That experience informs a flexible way of working that can include focused problem-solving or deeper exploration of life meaning and patterns. He draws on methods that help people change habits, notice unhelpful thinking, and reconnect with strengths. Alan lists Hypnotherapy alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based ways to approach difficult feelings.
He also uses client-centered and Jungian ideas when it fits a person’s goals. Those approaches are used to address addictions, trauma, grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD, and related struggles. Sessions aim to help people build skills for coping with life changes and to reduce overwhelming feelings.
Alan emphasizes collaboration: clients set goals and he offers tools and reflections to move toward them. He encourages small steps, honest conversation, and practical strategies that fit everyday life.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online work
Alan often combines Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy in a way that fits each person. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift habits and reduce anxiety or cravings. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and actions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own goals and pace.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Adjustments are made as therapy moves forward so techniques match what a person needs and what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, interactive work and guided hypnotherapy sessions. Phone sessions can be simpler when video isn’t needed, and live chat or messaging can serve for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, handle appointments from different locations in Utah, and choose the format that matches comfort and practical needs.
