Maudjah Henriquez-Francis, LPC

Maudjah Henriquez-Francis is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in New Jersey with 14 years of practice. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, mood changes, and life transitions. Her work often includes concerns linked to parenting, attachment, and identity, including support around LGBT issues and ADHD.

She aims to create a respectful, practical space where clients can talk through what matters most. Sessions focus on building concrete strategies and clearer thinking. Maudjah blends direct skill work with chances to reflect on how past relationships shape present choices.

Her clinical approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful patterns and on attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships influence emotions. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach coping skills for strong feelings and stress.

Maudjah has worked with people dealing with family tension, divorce and separation, caregiving stress, and issues around adoption and foster care. She also supports people facing fertility or fatherhood questions, body image and self-esteem struggles, and patterns like codependency or avoidant behaviors.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. The therapist helps clients set goals, try out new coping tools, and track small changes over time. People who want clear steps alongside reflective conversation often find this style helpful.

Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life

Maudjah often uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships influence feelings and choices. That perspective can be useful for family-related stress, feelings of abandonment, and patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals and preferences. This means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting course together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep consistent check-ins when life gets hectic. It can also let sessions be shorter or more frequent when a quick check-in helps maintain progress.
