Frederick, Maryland therapist: Catherine Cabrera, licensed professional counselor
Perfectionism

Catherine Cabrera

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LMHC
Perfectionism can look like high standards and success on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and the fear of getting something wrong. When your self-worth starts to feel tied to performance, it can become exhausting to maintain the pace you expect from yourself. I work with individuals who struggle with perfectionism, overthinking, and the pressure to always do more or be better. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we focus on understanding the patterns that drive perfectionism and developing practical tools to challenge harsh self-criticism, manage anxiety, and build a healthier relationship with achievement. My approach is supportive, honest, and empowering—creating a space where you can maintain your ambition while learning to step out of the cycle of constant pressure and self-doubt.

Perfectionism

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with perfectionism, you may feel constant pressure to get everything “just right”—often setting high standards that are difficult to meet. You might overthink decisions, procrastinate out of fear of making mistakes, or feel dissatisfied even when you’ve done well. What looks like high achievement on the outside can come with internal stress, self-criticism, and the sense that it’s never quite enough. I help clients understand and change the patterns that drive perfectionism so it no longer controls your thinking or behavior. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the rigid thought patterns and unrealistic standards that create pressure and self-doubt. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to reduce fear of mistakes and reshape the internal dialogue that keeps you stuck. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you take action more freely, tolerate imperfection, and stay focused on what truly matters rather than getting caught in overcontrol. What’s often missing isn’t motivation—you likely care deeply about doing things well. What’s missing is flexibility in how you approach goals and a way to interrupt the internal pressure that leads to avoidance, burnout, or chronic dissatisfaction. Without that shift, perfectionism can limit progress rather than enhance it. The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different approach. If you’re willing to step out of the cycle of pressure and self-criticism, I can help you maintain high standards while also feeling more confident, productive, and at ease with yourself and your work.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Maria Jose Rendon, psychologist
Perfectionism

Maria Jose Rendon

Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults whose perfectionism has stopped serving them, professionals and scientists who are high performing but burning out int he workplace and privately exhausted by their own inner critic. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify the specific thought patterns driving perfectionistic behavior and build a more sustainable relationship with achievement. Many of my clients are first-generation Latinx professionals, for whom perfectionism is often tied to family expectations and the pressure of being the first to do what they do. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, so progress is something you can see and track, not just feel.
