Love my time with Chaconna I feel heard and also challenged. It's a great time to dive into the things that are a little deeper than we can reach on the surface. It gives me an opportunity to get perspective on where I'm at and where I'm headed. Grateful for my time with her weekly

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Chaconna is kind, understanding, easy to talk to, and amazing at helping me heal the root. I’m blessed to have found her. She holds me accountable and pushes me to challenge myself , while still explaining ways to practice self care and love through the healing process. She is a strong woman of God and I trust her in every sense. I feel very safe and comfortable with Chaconna and happy to have her as my therapist.

Reviewed June 2024

I prayed before signing up for a therapist and the Lord blessed me with Chaconna Downs. I love that she listens to me and she encourages me to believe in myself and to press into my faith. I absolutely love the fact that she includes lots of scriptures to remind me to stand on Gods word. At the end of each session she prays for me and over me. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a woman of faith plus a licensed therapist. She is the real deal!!
