About Cherita

Cherita Griffin is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Ohio who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions find clearer footing.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that validates each person’s experience while building practical skills for coping, managing emotions, and restoring a sense of agency. Cherita draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based practices to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop more workable ways of living.

With eight years of clinical experience, Cherita blends structured techniques with a compassionate, person-centered stance so that sessions address both immediate challenges and longer-term growth. Her background supports work on relationship difficulties, intimacy and parenting concerns, grief, addiction-related struggles, and a broad array of family and identity issues.

Sessions emphasize realistic steps and self-compassion, with attention to how past experiences shape present responses. Cherita offers multiple remote formats to fit different needs and schedules, and she helps clients determine which tools and approaches feel most helpful for their priorities.

Her aim is to guide people toward increased clarity, confidence, and everyday resilience without asking them to become someone else.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often uses practical exercises and homework to build skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult emotions while taking committed action toward meaningful goals; it can help with avoidance, low motivation, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering empathic understanding and support so clients can explore feelings and develop their own insights and solutions.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies over time based on what is helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy routines. These remote formats allow licensed professionals to deliver the same skill-building, reflective work, and practical tools as in-person treatment while accommodating different comfort levels and schedules.
