Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

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.
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!!
Chaconna is Amazing ! In just a few sessions, my anger is decreasing and my Healing is Coming! I love that she is Christian and a woman of Color.
