Shalika Eaddy-Henderson, LCSW

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and related struggles. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel simple. Shalika asks about how the week or day has gone and then follows the client's lead so sessions fit what the person needs right now.

Shalika moved into social work after starting her career in banking and earning a Master of Public Administration from the University of New Haven. That experience shaped how she thinks about the pressures people face at work and at home. She later earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and has about 10 years of experience supporting people through depression, addiction, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Her sessions mix practical tools and listening. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change small daily habits. Mindfulness techniques support grounding during high stress and panic moments.

Shalika also uses Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people reframe difficult stories and find internal motivation for change. She works with concerns like self-esteem, body image, communication problems, fertility and pregnancy-related stress, and feelings of isolation. She does not list services for international clients.

People who choose her can expect direct, respectful conversation and steps they can try between sessions. The goal is to make therapy fit the client's life and goals so progress feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Shalika commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with people online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely to what matters most to the client and letting the person's priorities shape each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as the work progresses. The client and therapist decide together which techniques to use and when to try something different.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to continue care through transitions like moves or schedule changes, while still focusing on practical skills and emotional processing.
