About Deja
LCSW Deja Spikes is a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia with five years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication to address everyday problems.
Deja emphasizes self-love and better communication as the core of her work. She helps people talk through infidelity, repair relationship strain, and improve how they connect with others. She also supports women through pregnancy and childbirth transitions and helps young adults facing life changes.
Her background includes focused work with military-connected individuals and veterans who bring service-related stressors into therapy. Deja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to break concerns into manageable steps. She explains strategies in plain language and practices them in session so people can try them between meetings.
Sessions aim to teach concrete tools for managing mood, anxiety, and attention differences. Deja will coach on communication skills and steps to rebuild trust after breaches. When relevant, she works through parenting and family interaction patterns to reduce everyday conflict.
She describes therapy as collaborative problem-solving. People can expect clear goals, regular check-ins about progress, and adjustments to what isn’t working. To start, she asks about current concerns and practical goals, then builds simple action steps that fit daily life.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Deja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavioral change. One common approach is skill-building for anxiety and mood regulation, which teaches specific breathing, activity, and thought-management strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach addresses relationship and communication skills, breaking down common interaction patterns and practicing new ways to speak and listen that reduce conflict and rebuild trust.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Deja will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods if something isn’t working, so the direction of therapy evolves from shared decisions rather than a fixed plan.
Confirm the supported session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular meetings around work, childcare, or medical appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and options that do not require video can help when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is preferred.
