Cheronda Pinkard , LCSW

Cheronda Pinkard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can name goals and take small steps toward feeling better. Her style centers on practical strategies and steady support rather than jargon.

She uses collaborative goal-setting so clients guide the work. Cheronda emphasizes building tools that fit each person’s day-to-day life. Sessions focus on concrete steps for managing mood, coping with grief, and reducing anxiety.

Cheronda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thinking that affect mood and behavior. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what’s already working and expand those strengths. These approaches are used together to create clear, manageable plans.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work and experience in child development. She has spent several years working with a range of concerns such as trauma, addictions, anger, eating challenges, parenting strain, and ADHD. That experience informs practical suggestions and realistic pacing.

Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth conversation about goals and next steps. Cheronda encourages people to try strategies between sessions and to adjust the plan as needed. Her Nevada-based practice serves English speakers and accepts international clients.
