About Lakisha
Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Clinical (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, grief, and life transitions. Dr. Brimage also addresses issues such as self-esteem, sleeping problems, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and career questions.
She trained in counseling and earned a Psy.D. in Behavioral Health Leadership in 2023 and a M.Ed. in Counseling and Human Development in 2013. Her work draws on client-centered therapy alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. Sessions often blend practical strategies with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to meet concrete goals.
In practice she focuses on clear, actionable steps. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way, test new behaviors, and build simple habits that support daily functioning. Conversations typically look at what’s happening now and what can change in small, manageable ways.
Dr. Brimage has worked with a wide range of people over her career, which informs how she listens and responds to different life experiences. She aims to teach skills for coping, regulating emotions, and handling relationship stress rather than offering only talk.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She guides goal-setting and skill-building for concrete problems like work stress, starting a family role, trouble sleeping, or feeling stuck after a major change.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps clients outline what matters most, which is useful for decisions about work, relationships, or identity in early adulthood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, maps connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful behavior patterns by testing new ways of thinking and acting.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and simple practices to reduce rumination. It can help with stress, anger regulation, and managing emotions that flare during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting in response to progress.
