About Shalika
Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and changes in their lives. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to support those coping with depression, ADHD, anger, and addictions.
Shalika keeps the first part of a session simple - asking how the week has been and listening to what matters most to the client.
How Shalika works
She takes a client-centered stance that puts the person's goals first. That means sessions follow the pace and priorities that the client sets. She also uses practical methods like cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to address symptoms and daily challenges.
Shalika blends several approaches to meet real needs. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change. Narrative techniques are used to look at personal stories and how they shape current struggles.
These approaches support work on relationships, communication problems, body image, fertility concerns, and other life stressors. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and an earlier Master of Public Administration from the University of New Haven.
Those experiences, including time spent working in a bank, shaped her interest in the life stressors that can lead to anxiety or substance use. She communicates plainly and keeps sessions practical. If someone prefers phone, video, live chat, or text-based messages, she offers those formats to fit different schedules and needs.
The client decides how a session begins and what progress looks like.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means starting where the person is and structuring each meeting around their immediate concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills such as problem solving, thought tracking, and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and find a rhythm that works for each person's life.
