Andjie Cherichel

Andjie Cherichel is a licensed clinician who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She brings nine years of professional experience to sessions and speaks English and Haitian Creole. Andjie aims to make the first step toward therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

In sessions she focuses on listening closely to what matters to the individual. She helps people name difficult feelings and practical problems, then works with them to set realistic goals. Her background includes supporting people through relationship and family issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges tied to adoption, caregiving, and fatherhood.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build clearer ways of coping. Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her approach when people want to rewrite personal stories or strengthen motivation for change. These methods are used collaboratively and adapted to each person’s needs.

Andjie has worked across systems and with clients who face practical stresses like caregiver strain, aging concerns, and first responder-related issues. She aims for straightforward conversations about control problems, codependency, body image, and forgiveness so people can try small, manageable steps between sessions.

She is licensed as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the District of Columbia and as an LCSW-C in Maryland. To start, users follow the site’s matching steps to connect and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers clear steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for low self-esteem, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe and retell difficult parts of their story so they can see new possibilities and regain a sense of agency.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more toward practical skills, reflective exploration, or motivational coaching, and the plan can change as needs shift.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list exact options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shave commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer not being on camera, while others value face-to-face video for reading nonverbal cues; these practical differences can shape how therapy is scheduled. Licensed professionals can adapt the described approaches to work effectively through remote sessions, focusing on goals that matter in everyday life.
