About Deja
Deja Spikes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with five years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, family conflict, and ADHD-related concerns. She also focuses on communication problems, infidelity, and issues common to young adults and women.
She helps people build self-love and stronger communication skills. Sessions often involve talking through relationship patterns and practical steps to reduce daily stress. When infidelity or trust issues are present, she works to identify what went wrong and what each person needs to move forward.
Deja has experience with pregnancy and childbirth challenges and with concerns that affect military-connected people and veterans. She uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving to address transitions and role changes that come with those life stages. Clients can expect clear, practical suggestions they can try between sessions.
Her work emphasizes respect for each person's background and identity. She listens for real-world pressures such as work, family demands, and health concerns, and grounds sessions in things people can actually do differently. Deja aims to help clients make small changes that add up to better daily functioning.
If someone is ready to start, the usual next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and details about formats should be confirmed before booking.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques such as cognitive approaches that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods can reduce anxiety and depression by teaching concrete skills for managing stress and reacting differently in triggering situations.Another common approach focuses on communication skills training. This involves practicing clear ways to express needs and set boundaries, which is useful for relationship strain, infidelity recovery, and family conflict. It often includes role-play and actionable strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, day-to-day life, and personal preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will fit a routine so sessions can be practical and sustainable.
