Hello, I’m Cherita Griffin, MS, LPCC-S, NCC, CYT, SEL-F, C-DBT, CMIP, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Endorsement who has spent many years supporting people through mental health challenges.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master’s in Applied Behavioral Analysis, complemented by a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Psychology. This blend gives me a unique lens, combining clinical depth with an understanding of trauma, behavior, and systems that often impact mental health. I’m also a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT), Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL-F), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), and Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP).
Professionally, I’ve worked in community counseling, rehabilitation services, forensic psychology, and behavioral health program development. I’ve provided individual, family, group, and community therapy; supervised clinical teams; and designed/delivered state-wide trainings on trauma-focused CBT, DBT, SEL, and mindfulness. My experience includes crisis intervention, case conceptualization, and compliance in multidisciplinary settings, always with a focus on culturally responsive, strengths-based care.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
