About Shalika
Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who guides people through stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She draws on ten years of clinical experience and practical life knowledge to help clients regain focus and calm. She meets people where they are and begins sessions in a way that feels right for each person.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and an earlier Master of Public Administration from the University of New Haven.
Background and approach
That mix of public administration and social work gives her a down-to-earth sense of how everyday stressors affect mental health. She has worked in settings that exposed her to issues like substance use and housing instability, which shaped her practical approach. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to what matters most to the client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. Mindfulness techniques support grounding and emotion regulation when stress or anger feels overwhelming. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and narrative therapy to rewrite stories that hold them back.
The therapist’s style is conversational and collaborative; she starts by checking in on the week or day and then moves into the work the client wants. Shalika practices in North Carolina and offers care in English. She works online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Her work suits people who want practical, steady support while managing mood, relationships, or major life changes.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Shalika often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and priorities guide the session. This approach helps when someone needs a place to make sense of stress, anger, or life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers exercises and simple skills to test negative thoughts, manage anxiety, and change reactions that lead to conflict or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, and will adjust based on goals and what feels helpful. Clients may mix approaches over time as needs change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or keep therapy brief during a busy day. These options help fit therapy into work, family, or school routines while using the approaches described above.
