Dr. Lakisha Brimage

Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kentucky and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee. She holds a PSY.D in Behavioral Health Leadership and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development. She brings eight years of counseling experience and a practical, people-centered style to sessions.

She uses client-centered methods to build a working relationship that focuses on what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies are used when people want short-term tools to manage stress, anger, anxiety, or sleeplessness.

Her experience includes helping people navigate grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and communication issues, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and blended family challenges. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete skills they can use between meetings.

In session, she helps clients set clear goals and work toward them step by step. Motivational interviewing is used when people need help finding momentum or making changes. Her focus is on practical strategies for coping with life changes and reducing the impact of anger and stress on daily life.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward talk, goal-oriented planning, and tools to practice outside sessions. She emphasizes collaboration and supports clients as they move from where they are now toward where they want to be.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around each person's goals. Online sessions can still center on the client's priorities, with the therapist guiding conversation, reflecting concerns, and helping set step-by-step plans.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In online sessions, this looks like reviewing real-life situations, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and tracking progress together. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity; these can be coached and practiced during remote sessions and integrated into daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying a strategy, checking how it fits, and adjusting plans together when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility around work or caregiving schedules.
