About Deja
Deja Spikes is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Virginia with five years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, family conflict, and ADHD-related concerns. She also focuses on communication problems, infidelity, and issues that often affect women and young adults.
Deja helps people build self-love and clearer communication. She talks through relationship difficulties and the fallout from infidelity in straightforward terms. She offers support around pregnancy and childbirth transitions and the pressures that can follow those changes.
She has experience working with military-connected individuals and veterans and brings that context into conversations when it matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and aimed at making daily life more manageable. Deja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide those conversations in ways that fit each person's situation.
Her approach centers on respect for identity and life experience. She listens for what matters most and then works with the person to set realistic steps toward change. Meetings focus on skills you can try between sessions, like ways to communicate clearly or strategies to manage stress and attention difficulties.
If you are carrying the strain of a difficult relationship, navigating the demands of parenting and young adulthood, or looking for support with mood and attention, she helps people sort priorities and take small, steady steps forward.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many of the techniques she relies on are evidence-based and focus on skills people can use day to day. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches clearer communication and practical strategies to manage stress and relationship conflict. This helps when arguments repeat or conversations keep getting stuck. Another approach focuses on mood and attention management, giving concrete tools for coping with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. These techniques aim to improve routines, focus, and emotional regulation.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and what has or has not helped before. Together you will pick methods and steps that fit your life and priorities rather than following a single template.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific ones. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let you meet from wherever you are at the scheduled time. Some formats may be quicker check-ins while others allow a fuller conversation, so discussing what you need will help shape how sessions work in practice.
