About Lakisha
Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kentucky (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee (LPC-MHSP) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns adults bring when home life gets strained, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
Her background includes a Psy.D. in Behavioral Health Leadership earned in 2023 and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development completed in 2013. Over her career she has worked with people from many different backgrounds, which she says helped her notice both differences and shared struggles.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside other approaches to help people identify practical steps forward. She aims to teach tools and strategies for managing symptoms and daily demands. Sessions focus on small, doable changes and on skills clients can use between meetings.
Dr. Brimage often addresses parenting stress, blended family concerns, communication problems, caregiver strain, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. She also works with mood difficulties such as bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, plus challenges like ADHD, grief, and trauma and abuse.
Her style is collaborative. She helps people set clear goals and then practices techniques with them to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps set goals that feel relevant to everyday life. This approach is helpful for people dealing with family tension, parenting stress, and relationship strains.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood shifts related to bipolar disorder.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It is often used alongside other methods to help with anger, stress, and coping with grief or trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try first, based on the person's goals, daily life, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and focused.
