About Lacey
Lacey Brinlee is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Oklahoma. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Lacey also supports those navigating life changes, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.
She uses practical tools people can try between sessions. Lacey blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with trauma-focused techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and reactions. She also draws on Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems ideas to help people make sense of their stories and internal parts.
Background and approach
Clients can expect clear goals and a step-by-step focus. Sessions often include skill-building, gentle processing of difficult memories, and strategies for managing intense feelings like anger. Lacey aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily life.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Oklahoma Baptist University and eight years working in outpatient settings and independent practice. That experience includes supporting survivors of trauma and people navigating major life shifts. Outside of work she enjoys time with her child and four dogs, outdoor activities, crafts, dancing, and home projects.
Those everyday interests inform a down-to-earth approach that values both healing and the ordinary parts of life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and reactivity. CBT is practical and often includes homework like thought records or behavior experiments.Narrative Therapy is another approach she uses to separate people from their problems by looking at the stories they tell about themselves. This helps clients rewrite parts of their life story and shift how they relate to difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are, phone may be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and shorter updates between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
