About Shalika
Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related concerns. She speaks plainly and starts sessions by checking in about recent days or hours to understand what feels most urgent. Her style is warm and practical and she emphasizes that therapy follows the client's lead.
Shalika trained in social work after an earlier career in banking and public administration.
Background and approach
That background shaped her interest in how life pressures can lead to mood changes, substance use concerns, and difficulty focusing. She brings a decade of clinical experience in community settings and behavioral health. In sessions she uses methods that center the client's experience and practical thinking tools.
These include client-centered discussion and cognitive strategies that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are woven in when they suit a person's goals. Shalika also draws on narrative work to help people make sense of their stories and identify where change is possible.
She pays attention to relationships, communication patterns, and issues that cause shame or isolation. Common topics include family conflict, relationship strain, grief, and major life transitions. She works with people who struggle with addictions, anger, panic, and reproductive or pregnancy-related stressors.
Sessions are offered from North Carolina and are held using a mix of remote formats to fit different schedules. Shalika aims to create a straightforward, respectful space for people ready to talk about what matters most to them.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with the person's immediate concerns and shape the work around their goals. It helps with motivation, relationships, and feeling heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing attention or focus problems by teaching step-by-step skills and homework to practice between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time so the plan fits each person's needs. Clients and the therapist choose what to emphasize together.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for ongoing check-ins, brief reflections, or between-session support. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to attend sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments.
