About Cherita Griffin

Cherita Griffin is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who works from a trauma-informed perspective and views healing as both clinical and deeply personal. She brings extensive training to her work, including a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master’s in Applied Behavioral Analysis, along with a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Psychology. Her approach is grounded in helping people recognize that they are not “broken” - they are often responding to what they have been through, and change can begin with understanding and compassion.

In addition to her counseling education, Cherita is a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT), Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL-F), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), and Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP). These credentials support an integrative style that can combine evidence-based therapy skills with mindful, body-aware practices when helpful.

She often supports individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally depleted, or disconnected from themselves, including people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and low self-worth. Sessions are designed to be compassionate, real, and non-judgmental, with a focus on gently uncovering patterns, processing what is getting in the way, and rebuilding practical skills so clients can move toward greater clarity, confidence, and peace.

Evidence-Based Skills, Made Accessible Online

Cherita Griffin draws from structured, research-informed approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways to respond, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday overwhelm. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationship patterns, supporting clients who feel emotionally flooded or stuck in repeating cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most and take values-based steps forward, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up along the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cherita works collaboratively, helping clients identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusting the pace and tools to fit their needs over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, continue care during life transitions, and choose a format that feels comfortable and sustainable.
