Lacey Brinlee, LMFT

Practical therapy for stress and trauma

About Lacey

Lacey Brinlee is a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Oklahoma. She draws on eight years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Lacey offers practical support for relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions.

That can mean learning ways to manage worry, practicing healthy boundaries, or building steps to move past traumatic memories. Lacey combines cognitive behavioral ideas with trauma-focused methods to tailor work to each person’s needs.

Her training includes a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy earned in 2018. As an LMFT she has worked in outpatient settings and independent practice, developing tools for both short-term and deeper therapeutic work.

She also has experience with group therapy approaches. Lacey is comfortable addressing specific concerns such as obsessive behaviors, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety, and trichotillomania.

She also helps people sort caregiver stress, codependency, control issues, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity. Outside of work she enjoys time outdoors with her child and four dogs.

She likes crafts, dancing, exercise, and home projects. Those everyday interests shape an approachable style that aims to make therapy useful and relatable.

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people learn concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their story and notice different themes and strengths, which can shift how a problem is viewed and handled.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skills with trauma-focused techniques or trying shorter solution-focused steps before deeper work.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face work for skills practice and processing. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and texting are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when messaging fits someone’s schedule better.

These options give flexibility and accessibility so therapy can continue across locations and time zones, while allowing therapists to use the same clinical approaches used in in-person care.
