About Lakisha
Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Clinical (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with eight years of clinical experience based in Tennessee. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, codependency, and other life stressors. She combines practical therapies with straightforward problem solving.
Dr. Brimage draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of her. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clarify goals and small steps toward them.
In sessions she helps people name patterns that cause repeated stress, like people-pleasing or difficulty setting limits. She talks through tools and skills that make daily life more manageable. This includes strategies for sleeping better, handling intense emotions, and managing workplace or parenting strain.
Her training includes a Psy.D. in Behavioral Health Leadership and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development. Those degrees inform a practical, action-oriented approach rather than long theory talks. She also has experience working with a wide range of backgrounds and life situations.
People work with her to close the gap between where they are and where they want to go. She supports clients in building habits and skills that stick, and she helps break cycles that keep people stuck in other-focused patterns.
How sessions work
How Dr. Brimage’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person’s priorities. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping someone decide what change feels right for them. That approach is useful for people who keep putting others first and want clearer personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions in a direct way. It helps identify patterns that lead to repeated stress and teaches practical experiments to test new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices to reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment, which can lower overwhelm in daily life.
Choosing the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean trying a skill-focused CBT exercise for a few weeks or using motivational interviewing to boost readiness before moving to behavioral steps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commuting time, allow brief check-ins during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the therapeutic focus.
