About Cherita

Cherita Griffin is an LPCC based in Ohio who focuses on helping people feel less overwhelmed and more steady. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are, offering calm support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and issues tied to adoption and foster care.

Cherita draws on eight years of clinical experience and uses approaches that emphasize acceptance, skill building, and present-moment awareness. Sessions are practical and paced to the person. She aims to help people turn what they already know into usable tools for daily life.

In sessions Cherita listens first, then helps people name what matters most to them. She blends work on thoughts and behaviors with exercises that build emotional balance and clearer communication. This can include learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and clarifying values so choices feel less overwhelming.

She also pays attention to how past losses, family patterns, and identity issues show up now. When people bring concerns about abandonment, blended family strain, body image, or caregiving stress, Cherita helps them make sense of those patterns and try different ways of responding.

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who meet with her can expect a warm, direct approach that mixes evidence-based techniques with practical coaching. She invites clients to take small, doable steps toward greater confidence and relief.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable parts.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that feel right, and adjust over time based on what is helping. Clients and the therapist work together to pick tools that fit day-to-day life and priorities.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills where they live and then discuss what did and didn't work at the next meeting.
