What Cheronda says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Good Day! I am Cheronda Pinkard. Since you are viewing my page you have made the choice or thinking about seeking change in your life. I am pleased you are considering me as a helper. Here is a little about me. I became a therapist to help people, whether to offer support through the process of improving mental health, addressing relationship difficulties, or adjusting to challenging life changes. Over the past 8 years I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse population of individuals seeking help. As a social worker I strive to provide a compassion, listening ear to those who seek help. You and I will work together and come up with goals. You are the expert on your life and my goal is to help you find what you seek. By collaborating together you will develop the tools to create more peace in your life. I have a master in social worker and also one in child development. I love working with both adults and children. I often work with people who often struggle with feelings of anxiety and depression. Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to manage your anxiety and depression.

03 · How Cheronda works

The 2 approaches Cheronda lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Cheronda lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Cheronda's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Cheronda runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Cheronda practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Cheronda's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Cheronda at this point.

2. Naming Cheronda specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Cheronda is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Cheronda.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Cheronda

Built from what Cheronda actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Cheronda's - Cheronda has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Cheronda's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Cheronda. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
