Shalika Eaddy-Henderson

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on what matters now. Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed at home, work, or school and looking for a practical path forward.

She began her career outside traditional social work by earning a Master of Public Administration while working at a bank. That experience shaped how she sees everyday stressors that can lead to low mood, anxiety, or substance use. Later she earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and moved into clinical practice. She has about 10 years of experience working across settings and with a range of needs.

In sessions she aims to meet people where they are. She often starts by asking how the week or day has been and then follows the client's lead about what to address. The therapist emphasizes collaboration and practical steps rather than a fixed script.

Her work covers common concerns such as trauma and abuse, attention difficulties, addictions, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with body image, relationship difficulties, communication problems, fertility concerns, guilt, and isolation.

Shalika uses straightforward tools drawn from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She works from North Carolina and offers services in English. When someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the next steps to connect and schedule sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Shalika draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding the client's perspective, and following their lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will help clients identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That process is collaborative - clients and therapist check in and adjust the plan as progress continues.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They also let people practice new skills in the settings where challenges happen, then discuss what went well in the next session.
