Cherita Griffin , LPCC

Cherita Griffin is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She speaks directly and kindly to people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted and wants to help them reclaim clarity and confidence.

Cherita uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She helps people notice what gets in the way, practice new skills, and try different ways of responding to old patterns. Sessions are collaborative and paced to meet individual needs.

Her background includes eight years of professional counseling experience in Ohio. That experience informs a blended approach that draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. Together these help with mood, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or parenting stress.

People often come with issues like self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, family of origin problems, abandonment wounds, or difficulty with intimacy. Cherita also supports those facing career stress, caregiver burden, body image concerns, or the effects of domestic violence and loss.

In sessions she offers straightforward coaching alongside therapeutic work. She helps set small, achievable steps, practices skills in real life, and checks what is or isn't working. The aim is to rebuild steadiness and give clients tools they can use outside sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It focuses on values and small, committed steps toward a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by practicing new ways of thinking and doing. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm the body and mind.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That teamwork helps people find methods that fit their personality and daily life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and try exercises together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief reflections, on-the-spot coping prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit regular care into a busy schedule while continuing focused therapeutic work.
