About Lacey

Lacey Brinlee is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with trauma-informed methods and systemic perspectives to create individualized care that addresses both symptoms and underlying patterns. Her approach blends practical skill-building with attention to personal narratives and relational dynamics, offering strategies for coping, processing loss, and repairing intimacy-related and family concerns.

She has worked in outpatient settings and independent practice, developing experience with a range of issues including compassion fatigue, codependency, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Outside of clinical work she enjoys time with her child and four dogs, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, dancing, exercise, and home improvement projects.

This combination of clinical breadth and personal warmth informs a collaborative style that supports clients as they pursue meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Narrative Therapy is another helpful option that invites people to explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, useful for issues such as identity, trauma, and self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete goals and practical steps, offering short-term strategies to address immediate problems and build momentum toward change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques from these models to create a tailored plan. Clients are encouraged to provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for scheduling flexibility and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable.
