About Shandrieka
Shandrieka Vallare is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, grief, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She approaches therapy with an emphasis on behavioral health as a core part of overall wellness and aims to help clients develop new insights and practical skills to manage life transitions and emotional strain.
Her background includes work in both inpatient and community settings, where she provided individual counseling across the lifespan from young children and adolescents to adults and geriatric clients.
Shandrieka uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Based in Texas and licensed to practice as LCSW in Texas and Louisiana, she combines clinical training with a collaborative, client-focused stance.
Outside of work she values self-care practices like meditation, music, and time with loved ones, and brings that same attention to balance and resilience into her clinical work.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and commit to actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than be controlled by them; this approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises, often helping with depression, anxiety, and anger management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to improve connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and adapt methods over time so the plan fits how the client wants to grow and cope.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and allows clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing seasons of life and support consistent use of therapeutic tools between sessions.
