Dr. Lakisha Brimage , LPCC, LPC-MHSP

Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a licensed counselor practicing in Kentucky and Tennessee who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work with diverse populations. She earned a PSY.D in Behavioral Health Leadership in 2023, a Doctor of Psychology degree focused on leadership in behavioral health, and completed an M.Ed in Counseling and Human Development in 2013. She is an ordained minister and holds professional credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kentucky and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee (LPCC and LPC-MHSP).

Over the span of her career she has worked with children, adolescents, military service members and their families, veterans, civilians, and individuals in department of correction settings. That range of clinical experience has deepened her awareness of both the distinct needs people bring to therapy and the ways their lives are connected. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and career challenges, stress and compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, and intimacy-related issues.

Dr. Brimage uses a client-centered framework combined with evidence-informed approaches to help clients move from where they are now toward where they want to be. She focuses on practical tools, strategies, and skill building, collaborating with each person to close gaps and overcome barriers. Seeking change takes courage, and she aims to support and empower individuals as they take those steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Dr. Brimage integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to address a broad range of concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their goals and values while feeling heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion skills that can support emotion regulation and resilience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Brimage collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Dr. Brimage offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or geographic limits, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while allowing therapists and clients to work together toward meaningful, practical outcomes.
