About Princess

Princess Spikes is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She brings four years of professional experience to sessions and emphasizes practical skills that address everyday challenges such as coping with life changes, improving communication, and managing panic or mood symptoms. Her approach centers on helping clients identify patterns that maintain distress and developing concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also incorporates elements from acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to support emotional regulation, values-based decision making, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Princess frames each person as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths while addressing concerns like abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, financial stress, and issues related to divorce or immigration. She encourages taking the first step toward support and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Princess integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into online sessions, using structured tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice skills that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns through targeted exercises, while ACT emphasizes accepting uncomfortable feelings and committing to actions that align with personal values.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed to support emotion regulation, communication skills, or coping with life transitions. Clients and therapist set goals together and choose strategies that feel most useful in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
