About Shandrieka
Shandrieka Vallare is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on common life stresses. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Her tone is practical and caring, aimed at people who want clear steps forward.
She brings 17 years of experience across inpatient and community settings. That background includes work with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric individuals, giving her a broad view of how problems show up at different ages.
Background and approach
She trained at Southern University at New Orleans and holds LCSW credentials in Texas and Louisiana. In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and she uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies to help people tolerate hard feelings.
Emotionally focused ideas guide work on connection and communication when relationships are a concern. Shandrieka aims to make sessions practical. Clients can expect to talk through what matters most, try small experiments between sessions, and build skills for daily life.
She frames behavioral health as part of overall wellbeing that supports healthier relationships and family life. Her style is warm and goal-oriented. People who want clear tools, steady support, and help figuring out next steps often find this approach useful.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching willingness to face difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by giving concrete tools to change thinking and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own experience, offering empathic listening and support so people can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. That plan can change over time as progress and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy routines without extra travel.
