About Cherita

Cherita Griffin is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Ohio with eight years of counseling experience. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also helps with trauma, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and struggles with self-worth.

Cherita uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on helping people notice patterns that fuel anger and frustration. Then she practices new ways to respond so moments of upset cause less fallout with people and at work. Sessions mix talking, skills practice, and mindfulness exercises.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered listening, and mindfulness work. That means she helps people name what matters to them, test out different responses, and build simple daily habits that reduce reactivity. The work is collaborative and step-by-step.

Cherita’s background includes study in counseling and behavior science, and years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, addiction concerns, blended family issues, and caregiving stress. She describes the people she helps as often knowing what to do but struggling to put it into practice.

In sessions she aims to make things practical and actionable. Expect clear guidance, short skills exercises, and focused conversation about triggers, boundaries, and communication. People leave with concrete steps to try between sessions and ideas for handling high-stress moments differently.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters most. It often focuses on values and small committed actions that reduce reactivity and guide choices during stressful moments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps trace the thinking patterns that fuel anger and teaches practical tools to shift those patterns and try different responses.

Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention skills for calming the body and pausing before reacting. These can be used in short moments of frustration to reduce escalation and improve clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, daily life, and preferences. Sessions can combine approaches and adapt over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their usual environments. Therapists and licensed professionals often use this flexibility to help clients try new behaviors between meetings without promising a particular format.
