About Andjie
Andjie Cherichel is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and an LCSW-C with nine years of experience practicing in Maryland. She works with adults on relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
Andjie helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. She listens for how past hurt, attachment wounds, or difficult systems shape daily choices. Conversations tend to be straightforward. She asks about what happened and what still matters now, then looks for small changes that can make life feel more manageable.
Her approach draws on client-centered work that focuses on the person's perspective, along with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses existential ideas to discuss meaning and narrative therapy to help people reframe their personal stories.
Sessions often focus on practical concerns such as communication problems, codependency, boundaries, abandonment issues, and forgiveness. Andjie also addresses caregiver stress, body image, adoption and foster care questions, and first responder issues when they come up. She helps people weigh options and try steps that fit their daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Andjie uses client-centered therapy to focus on the client's experience, listening closely to what matters and following each person's lead. This approach helps when someone needs a space to name feelings and decide which issues to tackle first.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep guilt or shame active and to try concrete changes in behavior. Narrative therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to test alternative, less painful ways of describing past events.
Figuring out which of these approaches fits best is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels practical, and then try methods together to see what helps.
