About Lakisha

Dr. Lakisha Brimage brings a client-centered approach to counseling. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kentucky (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee (LPC-MHSP). Her style focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them move toward clearer goals.

She has eight years of clinical experience and earned a Psy.D. in Behavioral Health Leadership in 2023. Earlier, she completed a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development in 2013. Those academic milestones inform her practical work but she keeps sessions focused on everyday steps people can take.

Dr. Brimage helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, sleep struggles, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, family and parenting challenges, career issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related problems. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress.

Her practice draws on client-centered methods along with cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. In sessions she listens, clarifies goals, and helps people try different tools to manage feelings and behavior. Progress is paced to the person’s needs and situation.

People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance, practical skills, and collaborative planning. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's goals and perspectives. Online sessions let the therapist listen, reflect, and help the person set steps that feel achievable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. In an online format, CBT tools are explained, practiced in session, and adapted to daily routines to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust as needed. Together they choose which techniques to focus on and how to apply them in real life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into the conversation for problem solving.
