Dr. Lakisha Brimage, LPCC, LPC-MHSP

Dr. Lakisha Brimage uses client-centered therapy as the starting point of her work. She meets people where they are and helps them name what feels overwhelming. Her approach is practical and collaborative, focused on small steps that build toward clearer goals. Dr. Brimage draws on eight years of counseling experience and keeps language plain and direct so parents can read quickly and understand next steps.

She combines client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means sessions often look like setting a goal, noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and practicing new responses between meetings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to sharpen goals and celebrate progress.

Common concerns addressed include anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. She also works with topics such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce or caregiving stress.

Dr. Brimage holds the LPCC credential and the LPC-MHSP credential and is based in Tennessee. Her background includes a Doctor of Psychology in Behavioral Health Leadership and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development earned in 2013. These credentials inform a clinical perspective grounded in real-world solutions.

Her sessions focus on practical tools, skills practice, and steady progress. People can expect straightforward conversation, clear goal setting, and strategies to use at home. The emphasis is on building skills that fit daily life and family routines.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Dr. Brimage often uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. This approach focuses on listening, understanding each person’s priorities, and shaping work around what the client says matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also used to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and to practice new responses that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with the client to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting the mix of listening, skill practice, goal-setting, and mindfulness work as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy family or work schedules, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins during life transitions. It can also allow shorter sessions for quick skill refreshers or phone-based check-ins when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep steady progress while matching therapy to everyday routines.
