Maudjah Henriquez-Francis , LPC

Maudjah Henriquez-Francis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, or big life changes. She talks with each person to find practical ways forward and build stronger day-to-day routines.

Her work centers on collaboration. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and practical problem solving. She draws on cognitive behavioral and attachment-informed ideas to notice unhelpful patterns and strengthen relationships.

People come to her for a wide variety of issues, including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, self-esteem struggles, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She also supports those facing fertility worries, adoption and foster care questions, and the complexities of blended families.

She uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness to help manage strong emotions and increase present-moment awareness. Sessions are client-centered, so the pace and focus adapt to each person’s needs and goals.

Maudjah speaks English and Haitian Creole, which can make it easier for bilingual clients to express themselves. She works with people who want straightforward, skills-based help alongside space to talk about feelings and relationships.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how past and present relationships shape feelings and behavior, and it helps people understand patterns that affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test new behaviors and reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the focus as needed so the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can fit a short break in the day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when messaging fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work, or other responsibilities.
