Dr. Lakisha Brimage , LPCC, LPC-MHSP

Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a licensed counseling professional with a background that spans clinical practice, leadership training, and pastoral work. She holds a PSY.D in Behavioral Health Leadership, awarded in 2023, which is a doctoral degree focused on clinical leadership and program development, and a M.Ed with a concentration in Counseling and Human Development earned in 2013. She is credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky and as a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee, and she also serves as an ordained minister.

Over an eight year career she has worked with a broad range of people, including children and teens, military service members and their families, veterans, civilians, and individuals in correctional settings. That variety of experience has shaped a practice that pays careful attention to both individual differences and shared human needs. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, and stress related to caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Her approach centers on client-centered, individualized therapy combined with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. She partners collaboratively with clients to close the gap between current struggles and future goals, teaching tools, strategies, and skills to manage obstacles and move toward meaningful change. Dr. Brimage emphasizes empowerment and steady support for those ready to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Brimage draws on client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship in which the client’s experience and goals guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and meeting clients where they are to foster self-directed growth and stronger coping skills, helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and managing symptoms of ADHD or bipolar disorder by teaching practical problem-solving and coping strategies.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills, supporting emotional regulation and resilience when facing grief, trauma reactions, or ongoing stressors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Brimage works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. She combines approaches as appropriate and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from home or between commitments. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
