Andjie Cherichel, LICSW, LCSW-C

Andjie Cherichel is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on each person's experience. She uses a warm, client-centered approach and clear, practical techniques to help people talk through relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She brings nine years of professional experience and licensure as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland and the District of Columbia. Andjie focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can name difficult feelings and look at next steps.

Her work addresses common threads that come up in therapy, such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and codependency. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, caregiving stress, aging issues, and the strain of parenting or fatherhood roles.

Therapy sessions draw on practical strategies from cognitive behavioral work alongside narrative and existential ideas to help people reframe stories about themselves. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when clients want help finding energy and direction for change.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the client. Andjie encourages small experiments between sessions and realistic steps that fit everyday life.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard while they sort through relationship stress, family conflict, or feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers concrete exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and build new patterns for self-esteem and coping with change.

Existential therapy helps people name the bigger questions that come with life transitions and loss of meaning. It supports exploration of values and choices when someone feels stuck or is facing major change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process is flexible and can change as goals shift.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins on a lunch break, or let someone use a quieter space with fewer distractions. Licensed professionals adapt their methods to the online setting so practical tools and conversational work remain the focus.
