About Andjie
Andjie Cherichel is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and helps people who are navigating difficult transitions and interpersonal strains.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions person-focused and on the client's priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are other approaches she may use when exploring motivation and personal stories.
Sessions typically look at specific problems such as communication breakdowns, codependency, abandonment issues, or managing caregiver stress. Work can include setting concrete goals, practicing new ways of talking with others, and trying behavioral experiments between meetings. The therapist explains steps clearly and checks progress as work proceeds.
Her background includes supporting people through adoption and foster care issues, fatherhood concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and first responder stress. She also addresses body image, control issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness when those topics come up in therapy.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Andjie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and focused on small experiments people can practice between sessions to change how they respond to stress and relationship problems.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers sessions on the person's priorities and pace. That approach supports exploring concerns such as self-esteem, family problems, or caregiver stress without imposing a fixed agenda. Existential Therapy may be used when people want to talk about meaning, choices, or major life transitions; it focuses on clarifying values and facing difficult decisions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and then pick methods that fit those aims. Adjustments happen along the way if a different emphasis would work better.
The practical point of online work is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, avoid travel time, and meet during a work break or between other obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and in-session activities so they work in virtual appointments.
