About Shalika
Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family issues, substance concerns, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions begin with a short check-in about how the week or day has been and then move into practical work based on the person's priorities.
She originally trained in public administration and worked in banking before completing a Master of Social Work at Fordham University. That earlier career exposed her to common life stressors and shaped her interest in helping people manage overwhelming situations. She has worked with a range of people across different settings over her career.
Her style is client-centered and straightforward. She uses conversation to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change thoughts and behaviors tied to mood and anger. Mindfulness and motivational approaches are used when they fit the person's goals.
Shalika describes therapy as something the person leads. She invites people to start where they feel comfortable and decides together how to begin each session. That flexible start often makes it easier to talk about sensitive topics like trauma, relationship conflict, or control issues.
Her broader focus includes work on body image, communication problems, infertility and fertility concerns, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She holds a Master of Public Administration and a Master of Social Work and is near completion of a Doctorate in Social Work.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Shalika often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, which helps when someone wants to start with what feels most pressing. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to change patterns that drive anger or anxiety.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily and mental reactions without getting swept up in them. Mindfulness can be useful for managing strong emotions, reducing reactivity, and grounding during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed. That means sessions can shift between listening, practical skills practice, and short exercises aimed at specific problems.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to connect without traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to remote formats so people can continue steady work on anger, stress, and relationship concerns.
