About Lacey

Lacey Brinlee is an OK LMFT with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. Lacey also supports those dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes.

She uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. Lacey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, and Trauma-Focused approaches when past events continue to cause problems now.

In sessions she focuses on clear steps and short-term goals alongside deeper work on patterns from childhood. That can mean practicing new communication habits, learning grounding strategies for anxiety, or mapping how family roles shaped current behavior. She encourages steady effort and concrete changes rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes work in outpatient settings and private practice across Oklahoma. Lacey has worked with survivors of sexual assault and abuse, single parents, and immigrants, bringing experience with a broad range of life situations. She aims to help people build routines that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Outside of clinical work she spends time with her child and four dogs. She enjoys arts and crafts, dancing, exercise, and home projects. Those personal interests inform a practical, down-to-earth approach in therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include worksheets, skill practice, and behavioral experiments assigned between meetings to make change happen in daily life. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. In remote sessions that can mean talking through life events, identifying dominant storylines, and testing alternative narratives that reduce shame or self-blame. Trauma-Focused approaches aim to reduce the ongoing impact of difficult past events through grounding, pacing, and targeted coping skills. These methods help when memories or reactions interrupt work, relationships, or daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining short-term problem-solving with deeper exploration of how family of origin patterns keep repeating. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow quieter or camera-off sessions when audio-only works better or when someone has limited bandwidth.
