About Cherita
Cherita Griffin is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted find clearer footing and more steady days. Her style is direct and compassionate, and she aims to make therapy feel like a practical space for real change.
Cherita uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based therapies to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and shift unhelpful thinking.
How Cherita works
She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches so sessions can include present-moment skills and calm, grounding practices. The overall goal is to help clients move toward values-based living rather than just symptom relief. With eight years of counseling experience, she brings a steady presence to sessions and focuses on what will work for each person.
She helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses topics like parenting strain, body image, codependency, and career stress. Cherita works with issues related to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, family of origin problems, and caregiving stress.
She also supports people dealing with addiction-related concerns, anger, commitment and communication issues, and feelings of emptiness or dependent personality patterns. Sessions aim to blend practical skill-building with a supportive conversation. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is checked regularly.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action toward what matters to them. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing small changes that produce better results. It often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment practices that reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that match those goals. This is collaborative and flexible - techniques can be adjusted based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be a straightforward check-in with less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief coaching, quick check-ins, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity of care when schedules change.
