About Cherita
Cherita Griffin is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes. Many people contact her for help with relationship strain, parenting concerns, blended family issues, grief, addiction, and low self-esteem.
Cherita uses straightforward, practical conversation and skills practice. She focuses on what is happening now and what can be changed. Sessions often involve noticing thoughts and behaviors, trying small experiments, and learning coping techniques that fit daily life.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps people manage distress, improve communication, and reduce reactivity. Cherita often guides simple exercises in session and suggests short activities to try between meetings.
She acknowledges how past wounds shape present reactions without making clients feel labeled. The work is aimed at clearer boundaries, more consistent routines, and practical ways to handle loyalty conflicts or role confusion that show up in stepfamilies and blended households.
Sessions are conversational and skill-focused. Cherita encourages small, testable changes and checks what is or isn’t helping. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more workable day-to-day patterns rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. In practice this looks like identifying small steps that matter and testing them in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress. That can involve brief homework exercises and tracking how thoughts and actions affect feelings. Mindfulness therapy teaches focused attention and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which can help with anxiety, grief, and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherita will discuss options and help decide what methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they will check what works, adjust techniques, and keep the plan practical and focused on real-life challenges in a blended household or stepfamily situation.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone choose not to be on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency and apply new skills between meetings.
