About Cherinna
Cherinna Hardeman, MD, LCPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She meets clients where they are and focuses on steady, practical steps. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at building confidence and clearer thinking.

Cherinna encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and to apply those strengths to current challenges.
Background and approach
Many clients seek help for relationship strain, family tension, or low self-esteem. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Mood concerns such as depression and longer-term anxiety are part of her practice as well.
Cherinna has five years of professional experience as a licensed clinician in Maryland. She treats the work as a collaboration and tailors steps to each person's pace and goals. Conversations are practical and goal-focused while still honoring emotion.
Starting therapy typically means setting small, achievable tasks between sessions. Cherinna helps people build skills they can use outside of appointments so progress continues over time.
Online approaches that meet everyday anxiety
Evidence-based techniques focus on clear skills and everyday changes. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Another approach centers on building manageable routines and behaviors - small practice tasks that make anxiety feel less overwhelming and boost confidence over time.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to your goals, tries different methods, and adjusts based on what helps most. Together you decide which techniques to emphasize so therapy fits your needs and pace.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when you want a deeper check-in. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter meeting. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between meetings or share quick updates without scheduling a full session. These options help therapy fit into a busy life and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.
