About Cherita
Cherita Griffin is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Ohio with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strains, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Her practice also addresses addictions, career concerns, and challenges related to family of origin, abandonment, and blended family dynamics.
Cherita uses practical, skills-focused methods and conversational work in sessions. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance-oriented and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions can include learning specific skills, trying short experiments between meetings, and talking through how past experiences show up now.
Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and experience working with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. She frames difficult feelings as responses to what someone has been through rather than as fixed flaws, and she helps clients explore those feelings without judgment.
Cherita often works on concrete topics such as improving communication, addressing codependency, managing anger, and coping with life transitions. She also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, dependent personality patterns, and the impact of domestic violence.
The practical aim in sessions is clearer thinking and small, usable changes people can try between meetings. People who come wanting to reduce guilt or shame related to past actions or identity can find ways to understand those feelings and make different choices about how to live with them.
How online sessions use practical therapeutic approaches
Cherita draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. ACT often focuses on small behavioral steps that matter more than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that maintain distress and to practice alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and for learning specific skills to manage strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining mindfulness exercises with cognitive strategies and acceptance-based practices over several sessions.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm what is offered before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. Discussing format and scheduling is part of the initial intake so sessions can fit practical life demands while focusing on the concerns you want to address.
