About Lakisha

Dr. Lakisha Brimage uses a client-centered approach to guide people through life changes and emotional struggles. She is Dr. Lakisha Brimage, and she brings eight years of counseling experience and clinical perspective to her work. She communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps people can take right away.

She draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness, to address stress, anxiety, depression, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. She also helps people who struggle with anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Her practice notes concerns related to parenting, career transitions, sleep problems, and ADHD as well.

Her background includes licensure as an LPCC and as an LPC-MHSP in Tennessee, and she completed a Psy.D. in Behavioral Health Leadership in 2023. Dr. Brimage aims to match therapy methods to each person’s goals and life situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are collaborative and focused on closing the gap between where someone is now and where they want to be.

In sessions she offers concrete tools and strategies for coping, improving communication, and managing mood and stress. She also supports people working through family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and separation or divorce challenges. Her practice emphasizes practical change and steady progress.

She encourages anyone ready to try therapy to take the first step. The work is paced to fit individual needs, with a focus on building skills that carry forward after sessions end.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to sort out feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and can reduce reactivity to upsetting thoughts and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can involve trying techniques in session and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or reduce travel time. It can also allow people to continue work on coping skills and behavior changes between in-person meetings. Licensed professionals will help structure sessions so they fit into everyday life while focusing on measurable steps toward clients' goals.
