About Andjie
Andjie Cherichel is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) with nine years of practice. She is based in Maryland and works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at what is happening now and what is getting in the way of feeling more in control. That can mean talking through how you cope with someone else's moods or drinking, how you keep putting others first, or how past losses still affect current relationships.
Her style draws on client-centered work, where the person sets the pace and the topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Narrative and existential ideas are also woven in to help people make sense of their stories and values.
She has experience helping people navigate systems and supports, and she discusses motivation and confidence as part of practical problem solving. Sessions are conducted in English and Haitian Creole, and she works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems.
If you decide to try a session, the usual next steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting. The therapist notes that the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In online sessions that means the therapist centers what you bring each week and adjusts pacing to your needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes. Online work often uses short, practical exercises between meetings to try new ways of reacting or thinking.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That choice can shift as you learn what helps most in day-to-day life.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also supports following up with brief between-session tasks that reinforce changes discussed in sessions.
