About Cherita
Cherita Griffin, LPCC, is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, grief, and life changes. Sessions are aimed at practical steps rather than abstract talk. She focuses on what a person can try now to feel better.
Griffin uses clear, structured methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. That means concrete exercises, short experiments between sessions, and attention to how thoughts affect actions.
Her work includes issues around addiction, body image, caregiver stress, abandonment and adoption concerns, and family of origin problems. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, control and commitment issues, and career or coaching questions. The emphasis is on skills people can use right away.
Sessions move at a practical pace. Clients can expect check-ins, skill practice, and planning for real-life situations. Mindfulness tools and DBT-informed skills are used when they fit a person’s goals.
Griffin presents herself as someone who foregrounds the person’s experience rather than labels. Her approach aims to translate insight into everyday choices. She asks what is getting in the way now and what small change could make a difference.
How CBT, ACT and client-centered work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that follow. It uses clear exercises and homework to test ideas and change patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide action. It is useful for coping with painful emotions and making practical choices that align with what matters to someone.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive conversation where the person sets the pace and topics. This approach supports exploring feelings and deciding which skills to try next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose which methods to try based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That choice can shift as needs change, with the therapist and client agreeing on concrete steps to try between sessions.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, scheduling around work breaks, or avoiding travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals generally use online sessions to practice skills, review short at-home exercises, and plan real-world experiments that translate into everyday life.
