The Merriam-Webster thesaurus gives each as a synonym for the other, so, as they apply to people, there is little difference, if any. See the examples at the links given below. com/thesaurus/independent CJ

a surprisingly calm and self-reliant child
an independent young man who moved out of his parents' house while still a college student
