About Cherita
Cherita Griffin is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) licensed in Ohio with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health, and with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions. Cherita also supports concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, addiction, and questions about identity and intimacy.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on what matters now and what small, doable steps a person can try between meetings. Sessions are direct and collaborative, with attention to coping skills, thought patterns, and emotional regulation.
Cherita integrates methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. She aims to help people notice what gets in the way of choices and values, and to practice different ways of responding to stress and triggers.
Her background includes graduate training in clinical mental health counseling and applied behavior analysis. That training supports work on observable patterns, routines, and skills that affect everyday functioning. She also draws on mindfulness and movement-informed practices when clients want that kind of support.
In sessions she moves between talk, skill practice, and real-world planning. People who come in unsure what to do next often leave with a clearer set of small steps to try. The emphasis is on making therapy useful for day-to-day life, not on abstract theory.
Approaches you may use together online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that align with those values, while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with feeling directionless and with decisions after life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions typically identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful for intense emotions, impulsive behavior, and communication problems.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues change and progress is made.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, because formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a session that avoids travel time. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or do not require being on camera, which can help people focus on the work without added hassle.
