About Maudjah

Maudjah Henriquez-Francis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 14 years of clinical experience. She has spent over a decade helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship strains. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and matters related to family and identity, including LGBT concerns.

Her work focuses on practical steps and clear strategies. Sessions aim to identify what’s happening now, figure out small changes that help, and build methods to cope when emotions feel overwhelming. She draws on cognitive approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

Maudjah also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to explore how early relationships and present needs affect how people relate and make choices. That can be useful when abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment questions, or blended family issues are part of the concern. She offers straightforward conversation about how those patterns show up today.

Her style includes elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotions are intense, and she works with common life transitions like divorce, fertility struggles, fatherhood issues, and caregiving stress. People who come for help often want clear tools, steadier moods, and better ways to handle family conflict and parenting strain.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Maudjah accepts international clients and supports people who want focused, practical work on guilt, shame, and related issues.

How Maudjah blends approaches for online sessions

Maudjah often combines cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or guilt. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early caregiving and relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people recognize and change those patterns.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice difficult feelings without getting swept up in them. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. She and the client will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the approach based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose a quieter moment for a session or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals vary in how they run remote sessions, and she will review practical arrangements with each person at intake.
