About Shalika
Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, and coping with life changes.
Shalika began her career with a Master of Public Administration after working in banking. That experience shaped her interest in how financial and life pressures affect mood and behavior. She later completed a Master of Social Work at Fordham University and has spent a decade supporting adults in a range of settings.
In sessions she starts by checking in about the week, the day, or the last hour, then moves into focused work based on what the person wants. She works in a client-centered way, helping people set goals and decide how to proceed. Practical skills and coping strategies are used alongside conversational work about patterns and choices.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods to notice and change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness, and narrative ideas to reframe personal stories. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help making specific changes, such as reducing substance use or improving routines.
Shalika’s background includes work with people affected by homelessness and substance use, as well as adults across multiple life stages. She is completing a Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University and continues to integrate clinical experience with community-focused perspectives.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Shalika integrates client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on discussing what matters most to the person and letting their priorities guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together to identify patterns and try practical changes that reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to help notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without getting swept away.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Shalika will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That choice can shift as progress is made or new concerns arise.
