Cherita Griffin

Cherita Griffin, LPCC, helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally worn out find clearer ground. She works with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and addiction. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make small, useful changes that fit their daily life.

Cherita uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to guide conversations and skill building. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness so clients learn new ways to respond to stress and old patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them.

With eight years as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio, Cherita brings clinical experience and attention to real-world problems like career pressure, codependency, body image, and family of origin issues. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and works to reduce feeling stuck without rushing the process.

Sessions focus on practical skills, emotional understanding, and steady goal-setting. Clients can expect guided conversation, brief behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices that can be used between sessions. The aim is better coping, clearer choices, and more ease in day-to-day life.

People who choose Cherita often want a counselor who listens without judgment and helps them build tools they can use right away. If someone is ready to address anger, relationship concerns, parenting strain, or life changes, she supports a steady path forward.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can help when anger, anxiety, or life transitions get in the way of what someone wants to do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherita will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying something, checking how it fits, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, making it easier to schedule short check-ins, and allowing people to practice skills in their everyday settings. They also make it simpler to continue consistent work during transitions or when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, guide behavioral experiments, and support steady progress without requiring major changes to daily routines.
