About Shandrieka
Shandrieka Vallare is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of practice in behavioral health. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship worries, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and other life changes. Shandrieka brings a calm, steady presence and practical guidance to help people move through hard moments.
Her approach centers on listening first and then building small, doable steps. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns, name emotions, and try different responses.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-directed, with time spent practicing skills between meetings. She has worked in inpatient and community settings and has provided care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in those contexts. That range shaped a flexible style that adjusts to each person’s pace and needs.
Her background includes a degree from Southern University at New Orleans and licenses to practice as an LCSW in Texas and Louisiana. Shandrieka values self-care and models it in simple ways such as meditating, listening to smooth jazz, and staying connected with loved ones.
She frames behavioral health as part of whole-person wellbeing, and she helps people build healthier relationships and daily routines. If someone wants straightforward strategies and steady support, she offers a collaborative path forward.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck, which can be useful for relationship concerns and intense emotional reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, and it supports living in line with personal values during stress or life change. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people find their own answers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean blending approaches so sessions match what the person needs at the time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, skill practice, and people who prefer typed conversation. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
