Shalika Eaddy-Henderson, LCSW

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward conversation to clarify what is worrying you and what you want to change. Sessions begin with a simple check-in about the week, day, or even the last hour so the meeting can follow your pace and needs.

She brings about 10 years of experience in social work and a nontraditional background that informs her approach. Before social work she earned a Master of Public Administration while working in banking, and later completed a Master of Social Work at Fordham University. That mix of business and clinical experience shaped her interest in practical coping skills for everyday pressures.

Her work covers a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses relationship issues and related topics like communication problems, jealousy, infidelity, and divorce and separation.

In sessions she relies on familiar, evidence-informed methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Shalika practices in North Carolina and speaks English. She is completing a Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University and continues to combine practical problem-solving with a people-first approach to help clients move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions begin with a check-in and the therapist helps guide conversations around your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most useful over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use homework exercises between meetings and practice mindfulness or CBT tools in daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt the session pace and tools to match a client's schedule and needs.
