Dr. Lakisha Brimage, LPCC, LPC-MHSP

Dr. Lakisha Brimage uses a client-centered approach as the foundation of her work. She meets people where they are and helps them name what feels most urgent. Dr. Brimage combines practical tools with steady listening to help people manage stress and anxiety and other struggles that make daily life harder.

She holds a PSY.D in Behavioral Health Leadership and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development. Dr. Brimage has eight years of clinical experience and has worked across a range of settings. Her background has exposed her to many different life situations and viewpoints.

In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to set clear, achievable goals and keep momentum between meetings. These methods are used alongside her client-centered stance to fit each person’s needs.

People come to Dr. Brimage for help with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, sleep struggles, relationship problems, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and work or career concerns. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin issues.

Her aim is to teach tools and skills that people can use outside of sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where small changes lead to bigger shifts over time. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it involves trying small experiments and learning new coping skills for stress, anxiety, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up. That exploration can happen over the first few sessions and may change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also let someone try exercises between meetings and use tools like worksheets or mindfulness practices at home. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, and other concerns while working around everyday life.
