Princess Spikes, LCSW, CSW

Princess Spikes is a licensed clinical social worker who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship concerns. She brings four years of professional experience to sessions and meets people where they are. Her approach centers on learning skills that can be used between meetings to make everyday life easier.

She typically blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. That means sessions focus on noticing thoughts and feelings, practicing small behavior changes, and building skills for emotion regulation and problem solving. Work is goal-oriented and broken into clear steps that clients can try out between sessions.

Princess encourages people to name what matters to them and then take practical steps toward those values. She emphasizes strengths and actionable strategies rather than long explanations. Sessions often include focused exercises, skill practice, and plans for handling difficult moments.

People come to her for help with communication problems, feelings of abandonment or isolation, difficulties after separation, and managing panic or mood symptoms. She also supports those dealing with money stress, immigration issues, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.

Therapy is offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Princess explains the process clearly, helps set achievable goals, and works collaboratively so each person can move at a pace that feels right.

How CBT, ACT, and DBT work online

Princess uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new thinking and action patterns. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework that target specific problems like panic attacks, anxiety, or low mood.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward what matters to them. ACT can be useful when someone feels stuck because of painful thoughts or strong emotions rather than clear practical barriers.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT-based techniques can help with impulsivity, strong mood swings, and improving communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients are invited to provide feedback so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching, and skill reinforcement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work consistent over time.
