Dr. Lakisha Brimage, LPCC, LPC-MHSP

Dr. Lakisha Brimage uses a client-centered approach to guide people through major life changes and daily struggles. She combines straightforward conversation with practical tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship problems. Dr. Brimage draws on eight years of clinical experience and holds LPCC and LPC-MHSP credentials. She practices in Tennessee and speaks English. Her work focuses on helping people close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Sessions look at immediate problems like sleep disruption, parenting strain, caregiving stress, or workplace challenges. She also addresses longer-term patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, and avoidance that can keep people stuck. Dr. Brimage uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and respond differently. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are added when clients want clear steps and quick gains. She has experience supporting people through trauma, grief, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. The goal is to build skills people can use outside sessions - communication tactics, coping plans, and grounding practices for strong emotions. If someone needs help deciding what to work on first, she works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals. The emphasis is on practical tools, steady progress, and restoring daily functioning so people can move forward with more confidence.

How her approaches work online and in-session

Dr. Brimage often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to make therapy practical. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with the client's concerns and goals, and the therapist follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and respond with more control. These practices can help with anxiety, sleep issues, and emotional regulation by teaching simple breathing and attention exercises to use during hard moments. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review needs, preferences, and goals together and try strategies that fit the person's life. Adjustments are made over time so the work remains useful and focused on real-world changes. Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent work on coping skills, communication practice, and problem-solving without requiring a commute.
