About Shalika

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on a decade of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She blends client-centered care with practical therapeutic tools to create sessions that begin where each person is most comfortable. Shalika’s background includes work with diverse populations and settings, and she integrates that perspective to address issues such as coping with life changes, anger, addictions, and relationship struggles.

Her path to social work began with a Master’s in Public Administration and later a Master’s in Social Work, experiences that shaped her appreciation for the real-world pressures that can contribute to mental health concerns.

In session she typically opens by asking about recent experiences - a day, a week, or an hour - and then follows the client’s lead on how to proceed.

Shalika aims to be collaborative and responsive, helping clients explore concerns like body image, communication problems, fertility or pregnancy-related stress, and mood or panic symptoms while honoring each person’s pace and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support

Shalika commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client; this approach helps people build trust and find their own solutions. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a useful method for addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related focus challenges, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy is employed as well to cultivate present-moment awareness and practical stress-management skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a shared process. Shalika collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, attend sessions from home or work, and access support during transitions or busy periods, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured therapeutic work tailored to each individual.
