About Cheronda
Cheronda Pinkard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions. Cheronda writes goals with each person and supports steady progress over time.
She uses concrete tools to manage strong emotions and reduce reactive moments. That can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and building new habits that feel more useful in daily life.
Background and approach
Solution-focused work is used to clarify small, realistic next steps and track what changes first. Cheronda earned a Master of Social Work and brings three years of LCSW practice in Nevada. Her background includes work with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and relationship stress.
She draws on child development knowledge when relevant to parenting questions. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. International clients who speak English can also connect.
Cheronda helps people organize their thinking, try experiments, and notice what actually helps in day-to-day life. People who want concrete strategies for anger, mood, anxiety, or coping with change may find her approach straightforward and action oriented. She aims to be a steady partner while clients try new ways of handling difficult situations.

How her approaches translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and adjusting the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress, anxiety, or anger going. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to practice new responses in everyday situations.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small steps that are likely to move things in the right direction. It asks what would be different if the problem were a little lighter and builds practical, short-term actions toward that change.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Cheronda will help clients choose which methods to try based on their goals, day-to-day realities, and comfort with different techniques. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is seen or new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a less visual check-in is wanted. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping treatment focused on practical change.
