About Lakisha
Dr. Lakisha Brimage is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Clinical (LPCC) in Kentucky and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship strain, parenting worries, ADHD, grief, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as bipolar symptoms, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Brimage uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. She offers clear tools and step-by-step strategies people can try between meetings.
Her background includes a PSY.D. in Behavioral Health Leadership and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development. Those degrees inform a practical focus on skills, planning, and measurable progress rather than abstract discussion.
In sessions she listens to the specific problem, identifies patterns that keep it going, and works with the person to set short-term goals. That may include breaking big problems into manageable tasks, practicing new communication habits, improving sleep routines, or developing coping plans for intense feelings.
Her approach emphasizes collaborative planning and skill building. Clients leave with concrete strategies to use in daily life and clear ideas for next steps. People who want structured, problem-focused work often find this style useful.
How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Brimage commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that worsen stress or anxiety and then try different, specific responses. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - identifying a problem thought, testing it, and practicing a new behavior to see what changes.She also uses Client-Centered methods to listen and prioritize the concerns the person brings, and Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Client-Centered work keeps sessions focused on the person’s goals while mindfulness offers short exercises to manage strong feelings.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and the person review goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. That means plans may combine CBT tools, reflective conversation, and brief mindfulness practices to match the issue and the person’s preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
