About Shandrieka
Shandrieka Vallare is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and Louisiana with 17 years of experience. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
She works in a straightforward way. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Shandrieka listens to what is happening now and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered listening.
Her background includes individual counseling in inpatient settings and community-based care. She has worked with young children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients in those settings. That range informs how she explains things and sets small goals that fit daily life.
In sessions she mixes talking, skill practice, and short exercises. That might mean checking thoughts, testing new behaviors, or practicing calm awareness. She also helps people address family of origin issues, blended family stress, caregiver burden, divorce and separation, and infidelity concerns.
People can expect clear, direct feedback and options to try between meetings. She pays attention to practical barriers like work and caregiving responsibilities. The focus is on steps that can be used in everyday life rather than abstract theory.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in virtual sessions
Shandrieka often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that match those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with stress, life transitions, and ongoing worry. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.She also brings client-centered listening to online work, which means she pays attention to each person's experience and preferences. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist and client review what helps and adjust the plan together based on goals and daily realities.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled and delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a busy day. A phone session may use less bandwidth and be easier on a hectic schedule, while a video session lets the therapist observe body language and facial expression. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
