These methods are used to address concerns like attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, and caregiver stress.
She regularly supports people facing adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, divorce and separation, and first responder stress. Communication problems, control issues, body image, and feelings of emptiness are also common topics she helps people tackle.
Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Andjie practices in Maryland and works with people who want practical tools alongside reflective conversation. If you are ready to begin, she encourages taking that first step.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. Therapists using this approach aim to create a respectful space where people can talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. It pairs clear exercises and small behavior changes with discussion, which can be useful for low self-esteem, anxiety about relationships, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and checking in about what feels most helpful as work continues.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for scheduling around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while still allowing the focused conversation that supports change.
