About Cherita

Cherita Griffin is an Ohio LPCC with eight years of clinical experience helping adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. She works with people coping with relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, and substance-related difficulties. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use in daily life to feel steadier and more in control.

Cherita draws on a mix of approaches to match the needs of each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to map thinking patterns and build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. Client-centered and mindfulness practices are woven in to support emotional awareness and self-kindness.

Her background includes work with a wide range of issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and communication or control problems that trace back to earlier family roles.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals, skill practice, and tracking small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with time set aside for skills you can try between meetings. People leave sessions with action steps they can use right away.

Clients should confirm current session options before booking. Cherita practices in Ohio and conducts work in English. The site process asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when family patterns make it hard to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find small changes that improve daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and repeating family-based habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherita will review options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may combine ACT, CBT, and client-centered skills depending on what the client wants to practice between sessions.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people appreciate being able to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or other commitments, while still working on concrete skills for stress, anxiety, and family of origin patterns.
