About Maudjah

Maudjah Henriquez-Francis is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in New Jersey with 14 years of experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting strain, and relationship tensions at home. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.

She sees people with family and parenting concerns and with issues like self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also addresses areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions. The focus is practical: talking through what feels hardest and learning concrete ways to respond differently.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She also draws on dialectical behavior and mindfulness practices to help people manage emotion and stress. In sessions she works with each person to identify patterns and try techniques they can use between meetings.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear strategies and steady problem solving. That can mean learning new communication moves, testing small behavior changes, or practicing grounding and emotion-regulation skills. Expect direct conversation about what’s been happening at home and small experiments to try between sessions.

Cultural background and language needs are part of her work. She offers services in English and Haitian Creole and accepts international clients. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting where practical goals and next steps are set.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonding affects reactions today. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions that often means outlining small experiments to try at home and reviewing what changed or felt difficult afterwards.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment ideas, CBT strategies, DBT skills or mindfulness practices best fit their goals. That choice can change over time as goals and circumstances shift.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and using shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats were not specified in the original information, confirm the current online session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to practice new skills in everyday settings and to review what happened between sessions without needing extra travel.
