Lacey Brinlee, LMFT

Lacey Brinlee, LMFT, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. Lacey speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for a busy life.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Lacey also uses trauma-focused work and narrative ideas to help people rewrite painful events and make sense of difficult memories. Sessions move at a steady, goal-oriented pace so people see clear next steps.

Lacey has eight years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her work has taken place in outpatient settings and private practice across Oklahoma, where she refined ways to support people rebuilding after loss, abuse, or major life changes.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, caregiving stress, codependency, guilt, and issues tied to sexual assault or abuse. She also helps with obsessive thoughts, trichotillomania, and career-related worries. Lacey is comfortable addressing both short-term goals and deeper, longer-term growth.

Her approach blends practical tools and compassionate listening. Sessions include skill-building, problem solving, and opportunities to tell the story of what happened and what someone wants next. Lacey welcomes clients from Oklahoma and beyond and conducts sessions in English.

How Lacey’s approaches work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and day-to-day stress by teaching concrete coping skills.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate their identity from difficult events by retelling and reframing life stories. This approach can reduce the hold of painful memories and support rebuilding self-worth after trauma.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the impact of traumatic events and uses targeted techniques to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It can help people who are dealing with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault, or prolonged reactions after abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Choices are made collaboratively, and approaches can be combined or adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online therapy with Lacey is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions and skill practice. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera-free conversation is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or days when a short message is easier to fit in. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
