More about Chinnika
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed certified(clinical) social worker in Mississippi, with over 14 years of experience working with adults as a therapist, but I have been a Social Worker for a total of 22 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, and life challenges including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, other mental health issues, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief and loss issues, chronic illness management etc. I also help many people who have experienced physical/emotional trauma or abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused therapy, interpersonal therapy, motivational interviewing , and psychoeducation. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes strength and courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

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.

It's been very helpful.
It has been amazing working with Chinnika! She has been like a big sister to me and she has helped me make great process through hardships and challenges. Even when things are going well, she’s just good to talk to!
I appreciate what she is doing with me weekly and would recommend her to anyone. She has a very friendly approach and she doesn’t make me feel I’m alone in my issues and that even small progress is positive progress.
Chinnika cares deeply about what she does and helping others. She listens well and relates to different situations, feeling more personable. She is attentive to others needs and different discussions wanting to be had. I have had great sessions and look forward to continuing them.
Even though I have only spoken with Chinnika once so far, she made me feel safe, secure, and she is quite a comfort with which to speak. I look forward to our next conversation
Chinnika has made me glad that I signed up for therapy. I should have started sooner! I look forward to a good session every week!
Great therapist
I love Chinnika! She is so kind, wise, warm, and thoughtful. I always feel better, more confident, hopeful, and encouraged from our sessions.
