Cheronda Pinkard , LCSW

Cheronda Pinkard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and other life transitions. She approaches care with empathy and collaboration, working alongside each person to set achievable goals and build practical skills for managing mood, worry, and everyday stressors.

Having three years of clinical experience, she works with both adults and children and often focuses on concerns such as anxiety and depression, relationship and family issues, anger, addictions, and parenting difficulties. Her practice emphasizes listening carefully, honoring each person as the expert on their own life, and helping clients develop tools that foster greater calm and clearer direction.

Cheronda draws on evidence-informed methods to tailor sessions to individual needs, aiming to create workable strategies that fit each client’s life and values. As an LCSW, she combines training in social work with clinical practice to support emotional healing and practical problem solving. Her work includes addressing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and self-esteem struggles, career questions, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and coping with major life changes.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy and Change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative ways of responding. In practice this means learning simple skills to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and short-term goals - it encourages small, concrete steps toward the outcomes a person wants and is useful when someone is ready to build on what already works.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Cheronda will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who cannot attend in person. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
