Jennifer Moga, LMHC, LPCC, LCC provides online therapy to adults in Florida, Ohio, and New Jersey, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and depression, and accepts both insurance and self-pay clients. 🌿 ABOUT ME: You're capable and dependable, the one others rely on. But internally, your mind rarely slows down. You replay conversations, question decisions, and carry pressure most people don't see. On the outside, you look composed. On the inside, you're tired of overthinking and ready to respond with more clarity and intention instead of reactivity. I work with high-functioning adults managing anxiety, ADHD, or depression who want more than symptom relief. They want practical tools, stronger boundaries, clearer decisions, and steady progress toward an aligned life. Our work is most effective when you're open to reflection and willing to apply what we discuss between sessions. I bring compassion and structure to therapy. Clients describe me as warm and solution-focused: someone who listens deeply, challenges unhelpful beliefs, and provides practical tools for change. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, supporting steady progress while remaining supportive and appropriately challenging. 📍 AGE & LOCATION REQUIREMENTS: Adults (18–64) in Ohio, Florida, or New Jersey during sessions. I do not treat minors. 🎯 WHAT I TREAT: I specialize in anxiety, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, and depression in adults. 🚫 EXCLUSIONS: Severe trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, active substance use, gambling or sex addiction, eating disorders, personality disorders, dissociative disorders, couples or sex therapy. 🔒 SELF-PAY: Designed for clients seeking greater privacy, flexibility, and personalized care without insurance limits. 📌 Rates: Intake $185 | 53-min $150 | 45-min $125 | 30-min $85 📌 Out-of-network reimbursement may be available (not guaranteed). Clients verify benefits. 📌 In-network clients electing self-pay are typically not reimbursed.

In and out of the therapy room, I show up as an authentic, warm, and grounded human being. Clients often describe my presence as a balance of steady calm and active engagement. I listen with deep curiosity and without a shred of judgment, creating a sanctuary where you can drop your guard. I balance gentle validation with honest feedback. I will kindly challenge you when necessary to help you grow. I do not believe therapy has to be cold or clinical. We will laugh, celebrate your wins, and navigate heavy emotions together. I view you as the ultimate expert on your own life. We operate as equal partners in your healing journey. My clinical framework is flexible and integrative. I reject one-size-fits-all treatments, drawing instead from multiple evidence-based modalities to treat the whole person.

If you’ve ever had the quiet thought, “Something just isn’t right,” you’re not alone—and it’s worth paying attention to. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can begin to explore those feelings without judgment. My work centers individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood-related challenges, relationship concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma. I often work with people who have been “the strong one” for others—deep feelers, caregivers, and those who find themselves stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, codependency, or difficulty trusting themselves. Many of my clients are unpacking experiences related to abandonment, rejection, identity concerns, or emotional overwhelm. I also support neurodivergent individuals who are seeking greater understanding of themselves and more effective ways to regulate their emotions and experiences. My approach is warm, intentional, and grounded in the belief that healing does not have to feel cold or clinical. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we move at your pace, creating space for reflection, emotional processing, and practical growth. Together, we will explore your experiences, challenge unhelpful patterns, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect you with a version of yourself that feels authentic and steady. Whether you are new to therapy or returning to deepen your work, I meet you where you are—with care, curiosity, and respect for your journey.

I am the co-owner and co-founder of Lydian Counseling & Consultation, LLC in the heart of the Short North Arts District in downtown Columbus, OH. Individuality is at the heart of how I work. I don’t believe there’s one right way to change your life, and I’m not here to hand you a roadmap and tell you to follow it. You’re the expert on your own life. My job is to ask the right questions, help you sort through what you actually want, and support you in building something that’s sustainable for you, not what worked for someone else, not what looks good on paper. And I mean that genuinely. You are not your diagnosis, your history, or anyone else’s idea of what change should look like. The things that make you who you are, your background, your values, your circumstances, the way you see the world, those aren’t obstacles to work around. They’re the starting point. Good therapy, in my opinion, should fit your life, not ask you to fit into it. Change is hard enough without feeling like you’re being managed. Here, you’re in the driver’s seat. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in central Ohio, specializing in mental health and addiction treatment. I hold a Bachelor’s in Social Work from The Ohio State University and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton. I also completed an Addiction Medicine fellowship at Kaiser Permanente in Daly City, CA, an experience that gave me a deep respect for just how individual the path to recovery really is. www.lydiancounseling.com

I believe healing begins with intention, presence, and a good dose of courage. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me hiking through the woods with my two rescue dogs or throwing elbows in a Muay Thai gym. Nature, movement, and mindfulness are my anchors, and I bring that same grounded energy into a therapy session. Inspired by Viktor Frankl, “A man with a why can endure any how,” I aim to help individuals reconnect with their “why” in a world that often pulls us in every direction but inward. Life is messy, fast, and full of distractions. It’s easy to lose sight of who we are and what we need. As your therapist, I can do nothing to take away your pain; however, I vow to sit with you to endure it. I promise to do my best to assist you forthrightly, uncovering and fostering lasting resilience. I’ll offer a safe, compassionate space where we can work collaboratively to explore your story, uncover your strengths, and chart a course forward. The hardest part is getting started, so why not give it a shot? Come sit down, talk with me, and see if we can't get somewhere better than where we started.

I have experience working with people of all ages on general mental health issues, such as managing depression and anxiety, and have specialized in the areas of PTSD recovery and domestic violence and sexual abuse victims and offenders. Throughout my counseling career, I have maintained activity in ministry. I was trained in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and also have had training as a Spiritual Director. My counseling approach is generally non-directive, using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in a Solution Focused, Client Centered frame work. I can incorporate spirituality as much or as little as the client desires, from not referencing spirituality at all to fully engaging the spiritual dimension of life. As a caring, empathetic listener, people find it easy to talk with me and be open about what needs attention in their lives. I look forward to working with you!

I have been helping individuals in various roles since 1995 and became a licensed counselor in 2004. Over time, I’ve learned that people often have more strength and insight than they realize. You already have what it takes to create meaningful change—I’m here to help you move forward. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Supervising Counselor in Ohio, as well as a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, disabilities, caregivers, survivors of domestic violence, relationship concerns, and individuals in crisis. I believe that challenges can be worked through in ways that lead to growth and resilience. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help create more fulfilling lives. My goal is to help you identify what you’d like to change—even if it’s just one small step, because even one change can make a meaningful difference. My style is supportive, compassionate, and collaborative, while also offering honest, direct feedback when it’s helpful to move through obstacles and create progress.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with experience working on a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I believe in creating a strong, trusting therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged. I use solution-focused techniques to assist in reaching goals and CBT techniques to help with concerns such as negative thought patterns. Every person is different, and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that is tailored to your needs. I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths, and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside, non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track.

If I could write a letter to my younger self, I would tell her this: You are not broken. You are responding to what you’ve been through. And one day, your healing will become someone else’s hope. Hi, 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 over 20 years supporting people through mental health challenges. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who deeply understands that healing is not just clinical… it’s personal. 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), allowing me to integrate both evidence-based practices and holistic approaches into the work we do together. I specialize in helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves find their way back to clarity, confidence, and peace. In our work together, we don’t just talk, we gently uncover, process, and rebuild. I combine evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and Social Emotional Learning with a compassionate, real, and non-judgmental space. This is a place where: • You don’t have to have it all together • You don’t have to carry everything alone • You can finally exhale Healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about returning to who you were before life taught you to shrink, question yourself, or survive in silence. You deserve to feel whole, worthy, and at peace.

Hi, I’m Marie — a therapist who believes that change is always possible, no matter where you are in life. My goal is to help you feel better emotionally, think more clearly, and move toward a future that feels fulfilling and peaceful. In our sessions, we’ll work together to understand what’s been holding you back and find practical ways to move forward. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice how your thoughts affect your emotions and actions—and teach you tools to shift negative thinking. I also use a solution-focused approach, which means we’ll focus on your strengths, celebrate what’s working, and create small, realistic steps that bring real progress. I often work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or major life changes—like adjusting after a loss, a new diagnosis, or changes that come with getting older. My approach is supportive and empowering. I want you to feel heard, encouraged, and equipped with the tools to handle life’s challenges with more confidence and hope.
