About Lakisha

Dr. Lakisha Brimage draws on client-centered care informed by evidence-based techniques to help people navigate persistent stressors and life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends a person-focused stance with cognitive and mindfulness tools, aiming to help clients understand patterns, develop practical skills, and build resilience. Dr.

Brimage holds the LPCC and LPC-MHSP credentials and brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in Tennessee, working with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief, ADHD, mood conditions such as bipolar disorder, and challenges like sleep disruption and parenting stress.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration: she partners with clients to identify goals, choose strategies that fit individual needs, and track progress over time. Training in motivational and solution-focused methods complements her client-centered orientation, so sessions often combine gentle exploration of underlying issues with concrete exercises and short-term interventions.

The result is a practical, adaptable style aimed at helping clients move from feeling stuck toward clearer priorities and improved day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's unique perspective and building a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership; online sessions allow that collaborative exploration to continue through conversation and reflective exercises tailored to personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching strategies for spotting thoughts, experimenting with new responses, and practicing skills between sessions, which works well in virtual formats where homework and resources can be shared digitally. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support mood regulation, and these exercises can be guided effectively in video or audio sessions.

Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with clients to determine which approaches best match their situation, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps ensure the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations within the region. These options support consistent engagement and allow therapists and clients to use the communication style that feels most comfortable and effective.
