About Cherita
Cherita Griffin is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Ohio with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping young adults and others navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family issues, and major life changes. She also works with concerns such as grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and career coaching.
Cherita uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She listens for the real problems beneath the pressure and helps people try new ways of coping. Sessions often focus on skills that can be used between meetings, like noticing unhelpful thoughts and practicing responses that feel manageable.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her combine skill-building, present-moment awareness, and attention to personal values. She aims to make therapy concrete rather than abstract, with exercises and small experiments a client can test in daily life.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after a life change, overwhelmed by comparison or expectations, or unsure how to move forward with work, school, or relationships. She helps unpack the patterns that keep people feeling stuck and works with them to try different problem-solving steps.
Cherita describes the work as collaborative and practical. She encourages steady progress through short, doable changes and helps people notice what actually helps in their day-to-day lives.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, uncertainty after life changes, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, evidence-based behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT is often practical and homework-oriented. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping after trauma.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and daily life. Expect the first few sessions to include checking current struggles, trying a couple of tools, and deciding what to continue based on how those tools feel and work.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school or work, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in their everyday environment. Cherita will help plan session timing and practical steps so therapy can fit into a young adult's routine.
