    About Cherita

    Cherita Griffin is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. She speaks plainly and works to create a calm space where someone can talk through what’s happening and take the next small step forward. Her style aims to help people reconnect with clarity and confidence when everyday life feels heavy.

    Cherita draws on approaches like Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people find what matters most to them and move toward it. She also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral tools to notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.

    With eight years of clinical experience in Ohio, Cherita brings a steady presence to conversations about anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictive behaviors. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care challenges, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin problems.

    Her work centers on collaboration and small, achievable changes. Cherita aims to help people who often feel like they “know what to do” but struggle to put plans into action. The focus is on real-life skills and decision-making that fit each person’s day-to-day routines.

    If someone wants a therapist who listens, reflects, and helps create workable next steps, Cherita offers that steady, practical approach. She encourages gradual progress and respects where each person starts from.

  2. How key approaches fit into online work

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore a person’s own reasons for change and to build motivation one step at a time. It tends to help when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin moving differently in life.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that match those values, even when hard feelings are present. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where people want clearer direction.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, reflection, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and can discover their own solutions. It supports progress by keeping the person’s perspective central rather than imposing a fixed plan.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a few tools and checking in together to see what helps most.

    The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that avoid travel time. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking to know how sessions will be delivered. Online sessions can make it simpler to work on motivation, values-based choices, and day-to-day coping skills within a person’s regular routine.
