About Andjie
Andjie Cherichel is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Certified Social Worker with nine years of experience. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and works from Maryland. She helps people address relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem and motivation.
Andjie focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name practical next steps. Sessions are conversational and aim to make progress in everyday life, not just in the therapy room.
Her background includes work navigating systems and supporting people through life changes. She draws on methods that help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior. She also uses approaches that help people make meaning of difficult experiences and tell their stories in a new way.
Clients often bring concerns such as abandonment, attachment, parenting and fatherhood stresses, caregiving burden, communication problems, and issues after divorce or separation. Andjie also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, control issues, and forgiveness work.
She encourages a collaborative process where goals are clear and progress is tracked. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following what matters most to the person. In this approach the therapist makes space for feelings and priorities, helping people feel heard and decide on useful next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to test new ways of thinking and acting. Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, choice, and values when facing life changes and uncertainty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using a mix of approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats when booking since options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support consistent momentum for people navigating family stress, caregiving duties, or work schedules. Ask about session logistics during the matching and scheduling steps so practical needs can be accommodated.
