Shalika Eaddy-Henderson, LCSW

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps to help people manage daily problems and regain control of routines and moods.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and an earlier Master of Public Administration from the University of New Haven. Before social work, she worked in banking, which shaped her awareness of financial and workplace stressors that can contribute to anxiety and depression. She has also worked with people affected by homelessness and substance use during her career.

In sessions she begins by checking in about the week, the day, or even the last hour. That opening is a chance to name what feels most urgent, then move into techniques that fit the moment. She emphasizes a client-centered approach that lets each person set the pace and focus for therapy.

Her clinical tools include cognitive behavioral strategies to identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel stress, mindfulness practices to calm reactivity, and narrative approaches to reframe difficult stories. Motivational interviewing is used when people want change but feel stuck, such as with addiction or behavior shifts.

People who are trying to manage anger, cope with relationship problems, or adjust after a big life change will find concrete exercises and discussion. She encourages straightforward, practical work aimed at clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
