About Princess
Princess Spikes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of practice experience based in Alabama. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also lists focus areas such as panic attacks, isolation, and issues around communication and forgiveness.
She uses clear, practical talk in sessions. She treats problems step by step and helps people notice what gets in the way of their goals. She asks about daily habits, thoughts, and reactions, then practices new skills together in session.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods include learning how thoughts influence feelings, trying short behavioral experiments, and developing emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Princess frames clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on what is workable now. She helps people name what they value, set small goals, and try concrete changes between sessions. That might mean practicing a short breathing exercise or testing a new way to start a difficult conversation.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She supports people through life changes like separation, immigration stress, money worries, and shifting roles. Many clients use her coaching on mood, impulsivity, shame, and building self-love while working toward everyday improvements.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small committed steps toward what matters, which can help with anxiety and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. It is often useful for panic, low mood, and specific anxiety triggers.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Skills work includes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness exercises.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to see which approach or combination makes sense for their goals and preferences. Sessions involve trying techniques together and adjusting based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit mental health work into a busy life by removing commute time, allowing for shorter check-ins, or letting people join from quieter surroundings. Those practical benefits can make it easier to keep regular appointments while juggling work, school, or family commitments.
