Dr. Lakisha Brimage, LPCC, LPC-MHSP - Therapist in Tennessee

About Lakisha

Dr. Lakisha Brimage uses client-centered care as the foundation of her work. She meets people where they are and helps them identify practical steps toward clearer functioning at home and in daily life.

Dr. Brimage holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPCC) and the Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider credential (LPC-MHSP). She practices from Tennessee and writes plainly about goals and small changes families can try between sessions.

She earned a Doctor of Psychology in Behavioral Health Leadership in 2023 and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development in 2013.

Background and approach

These degrees support her focus on helping people who are juggling parenting, relationship strains, or life transitions. Her eight years of clinical experience include work with a wide spectrum of concerns, and she often combines short-term strategies with longer-term skills practice. Dr.

Brimage commonly addresses stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also works with attention concerns such as ADHD, mood conditions like bipolar, and issues that touch family systems such as blended family stress or family of origin problems. The language used in sessions is straightforward and goal-oriented.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps. Sessions tend to focus on actionable tools - communication skills, coping plans, and behavior changes that parents and caregivers can try between visits. The emphasis is on realistic, stepwise progress.

For parents looking for support around family dynamics, parenting, or coping with life's changes, Dr. Brimage offers practical guidance rooted in evidence-based approaches and years of experience in counseling and leadership.

How these approaches shape online family and parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps parents name goals they actually want to reach. This style is useful for parents who need a compassionate space to sort priorities and make clear plans.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses specific exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, anger, sleep, and mood changes that affect family life. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful parenting moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the family's rhythm, and adjust strategies based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep and which to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let parents fit sessions around childcare and work, try strategies in real time at home, and stay connected between appointments. The combination of practical therapeutic approaches and multiple communication options helps make consistent progress more achievable for busy families.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
