About Lakisha
Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Clinical (LPCC) in Kentucky and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, ADHD, grief, trauma and other life changes. Sessions are collaborative and practical, focused on what needs to change now.
Dr. Brimage blends client-centered care with structured techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help calm reactivity and notice triggers. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods guide quick goal-setting and small, doable steps.
Her background includes a PSY.D. in Behavioral Health Leadership and a M.Ed. in Counseling and Human Development. She has worked with people from varied backgrounds, which informs a straightforward, respectful approach in session. The emphasis is on skills and strategies that people can use between meetings.
In practical terms she helps people build tools for managing anger and frustration, improving sleep, and navigating difficult conversations. Work often includes teaching breathing and grounding techniques, reframing automatic thoughts, and setting concrete behavior goals. Many sessions focus on immediate problems while also planning longer-term change.
People who seek her help can expect clear feedback, workable homework, and a steady focus on measurable progress. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals are agreed on together.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Brimage uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on what matters most to the client. This approach prioritizes the client's goals and observations and helps shape session topics in a straightforward way. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically include practice tasks, thought records, and step-by-step plans to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to help reduce reactivity. Short breathing, grounding, or attention exercises are taught and practiced in session to make strong emotions easier to notice and respond to differently. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That collaborative decision guides what is practiced in subsequent meetings. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and often allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Those practical benefits help people maintain regular progress while balancing work, family, and other commitments.Areas of focus
