Shalika Eaddy-Henderson, LCSW - Therapist in North Carolina

About Shalika

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in life. Shalika pays attention to how daily moments affect mood and functioning and starts there.

She keeps sessions centered on the client's needs and choices. Shalika developed an interest in helping others while working in banking. That experience shaped her view of everyday pressures that can lead to mood and substance concerns.

Background and approach

She earned a Master of Public Administration from the University of New Haven and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University. She is also nearing completion of a Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University. In sessions she often begins by asking how the day or week has been.

From that starting point she moves into tools and conversation tailored to what the person wants. Her methods draw on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. These methods are used to address issues like trauma, addiction, self-esteem, and relationship or family concerns.

Shalika has ten years of practice experience and holds the North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, NC LCSW C011800. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions operate via a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a session based on the therapist's availability.

How Shalika uses practical approaches online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person’s lead, builds rapport, and helps them set goals that matter. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort out feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood swings by practicing new ways of responding to stress. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve calm during difficult moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods over time. This is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions provide a low-tech option, and live chat or text messaging offer brief check-ins and flexible communication. These formats increase convenience and help maintain continuity when schedules are tight or life changes occur.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
