About Shalika
Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with about 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, family issues, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility concerns, guilt and shame, and related topics.
She began her professional path with a Master of Public Administration while working at a bank. That early career helped her notice how work and life stress can push people toward depression, anxiety, or substance use. After that, she completed a Master of Social Work and moved into clinical practice with a range of people, including those facing homelessness, substance use struggles, and life transitions.
In sessions she prefers to start by checking in about the week, the day, or even the last hour. From there she moves into the therapeutic work, but she follows the client's lead on how to begin. Her stated view is that therapy is for the client and the session should reflect what the person needs.
Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. These methods are woven into practical conversations rather than abstract theory. She aims to help people manage everyday pressures that affect home and work life.
Shalika is based in North Carolina and provides services in English. She has experience across community settings and clinical roles, and she is completing a Doctorate in Social Work.
How sessions work
How her approaches adapt for online work
Shalika commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings each session, helping people talk through immediate concerns and decide what to work on. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits, which can help with anxiety, mood symptoms, and problem-focused goals.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice physical and emotional reactions without judgment. Mindfulness techniques often involve short breathing or awareness exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the client and adjust methods over time. That means sessions can shift toward more skills-based work or more open, client-led conversations depending on what proves most helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since current options are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid the need to travel. These practical benefits help fit therapy into busy family and work lives without promising any particular result.
