About Lakisha
Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kentucky (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee (LPC-MHSP) with eight years of clinical experience. She combines practical talk therapy with clear skill-building for people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. She works in English and practices in Tennessee.
Her approach centers on client-centered therapy, where conversations start from the client's own goals and values. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, change reactions, and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used to set realistic steps and stay on track.
She has worked across diverse settings and with many different life situations. That background informs how she frames problems like relationship strain, parenting stress, career setbacks, grief, and caregiving fatigue. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related struggles.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and brief experiments to test new ways of responding. People learn communication strategies, emotion regulation techniques, and short exercises to reduce reactivity. The goal is to build routines that reduce anger flare-ups and ongoing resentment without promising overnight change.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients and she work together to set small steps, track progress, and adjust methods that fit day-to-day life. To start, complete the site questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and priorities. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the person and move at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses short exercises and homework to test new ways of responding to anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice bodily signals and automatic reactions so emotions become easier to manage rather than overwhelm daily life.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. They review what works and adjust tactics over time rather than insisting on one fixed method.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows practice of new skills in real-life routines and quick follow-ups when an issue comes up. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help clients manage anger and improve coping without promising specific results.
