Cherita Griffin, LPCC

Cherita Griffin is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She approaches therapy with a trauma-informed perspective, meeting people where they are and acknowledging that difficult responses often reflect what someone has lived through rather than a personal failing. Cherita helps clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected regain clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of calm.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, substance use and addictions, self-esteem and body image struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues, intimacy and commitment questions, blended family dynamics, and problems rooted in family of origin or abandonment experiences.

Cherita integrates evidence-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She offers compassionate, practical guidance that emphasizes collaboration and real-world skills so clients can move from survival toward a more connected and purposeful life. Cherita provides services in English and does not currently work with international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take values-driven actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors, which can be especially helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cherita works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, attend from home, or stay connected between sessions. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver focused, skill-based care in ways that suit individual lives.
