About Cherita
Cherita Griffin helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted find clearer footing. She speaks plainly and offers steady, patient care for anxiety, depression, trauma, and the strain of life changes. Cherita uses practical tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
She blends approaches that focus on present-day choices and building inner skills. That can look like practicing mindfulness, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and picking small actions that match your values.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - clients set goals and Cherita adapts strategies to fit their life. With eight years of clinical experience and an Ohio LPCC credential, she brings clinical knowledge and a warm presence to sessions. Her background includes work with issues like addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and family of origin problems.
She also supports people navigating adoption, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Cherita incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, and client-centered listening into the work. She helps people practice skills in real life so progress feels manageable instead of overwhelming.
People who want a calm, steady therapist who offers concrete steps often respond well to her style. She explains practices in everyday language and checks in on what’s working. The aim is to help clients build routines and tools that fit their day-to-day lives.
How approach and access meet online
Cherita draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients focus on what matters most and take small, values-driven actions. ACT is useful when someone wants to move past avoidance and start living more in line with their priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical techniques that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cherita collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily realities. She checks in and adjusts strategies as progress or challenges appear.
Online formats make that collaboration flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief support, homework check-ins, or when a written reflection feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
