About Shalika
Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. She works in North Carolina and draws on a range of approaches to meet people where they are. Shalika aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what each person needs that day.
She began in a nontraditional way, first earning a Master of Public Administration while working at a bank.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her interest in how everyday pressures can lead to anxiety, low mood, or substance use. She later earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and now holds an LCSW in North Carolina. Across a decade in the field, Shalika has supported people facing life changes, relationship and family strain, addictions, and issues with self-esteem and body image.
She also works with concerns such as ADHD, panic attacks, fertility and pregnancy-related stress, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. Her practice includes both short-term problem work and deeper, longer-term conversations. In session she often starts by asking how the week or day has been and then moves into the work the person wants to do.
That may include exploring personal stories, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing present-moment awareness, or building motivation for change. The structure of a session is shaped by each person’s goals and comfort level. She is completing a Doctorate in Social Work and brings about ten years of experience to her work.
Shalika offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Shalika directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Shalika draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the stories that trouble them. That approach focuses on the meanings people give their experiences and looks for alternative stories that reduce blame and open choices. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to give space for the person's perspective, listening closely and following what matters most in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used when helpful, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood, and panic symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Shalika will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together they decide whether to focus on reworking personal narratives, practicing mindfulness and coping skills, or building motivation for specific changes.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact while joining from work or home when scheduling is tight. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video is not an option. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, on-the-go reflections, or ongoing written dialogue between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue progress across different situations.
