Princess Spikes, LCSW, CSW

Princess Spikes is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or dealing with low mood. She brings a direct, down-to-earth style to sessions and encourages clients to use their own strengths to move forward. Her approach is practical and centered on the person in front of her.

With four years of professional experience, Princess helps people facing relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She also addresses issues such as panic, mood shifts, feelings of isolation, and difficulties with communication. She works with concerns related to money stress, immigration strains, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

In sessions she draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means she often helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new coping skills, and choose actions that match their values. She keeps explanations simple and emphasizes skills that can be used between meetings.

Princess believes clients are the experts on their own stories. She partners with people to set clear goals and build on existing strengths. Her tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at making therapy understandable and useful.

To begin, she asks people to take a first step and reach out. The initial steps help identify priorities and create a plan that fits individual needs and daily life.

How specific approaches guide online work

Princess integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work in simple, practical ways. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety or fear shows up. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try new ways of responding and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps and adjust techniques as needed rather than sticking to one rigid plan.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and lets them practice skills between meetings. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins or a focused skills session when schedules are tight, which helps maintain momentum while handling everyday responsibilities.
