Dr. Fulani Doughty , LPC

Dr. Fulani Doughty is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 17 years of experience. He draws on practical, people-focused methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and mood challenges.

He keeps sessions straightforward and centered on the client's goals. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change. Techniques may include goal-setting, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and using mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm.

Dr. Doughty brings a background that includes school counseling and rehabilitation work. That experience informs how he helps with issues like educational planning, attachment and adoption concerns, and caregiver stress. He also has experience supporting people facing grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and problems with sleep or anger.

Over the years he has worked with people affected by substance use, codependency, and co-occurring mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation. His additional focus areas include blended family challenges, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and forgiveness work.

He offers sessions from Georgia and uses a client-centered stance that lets the person lead the pace and focus. Dr. Doughty aims to make therapy a practical space for clearer thinking, better communication, and steps toward change. Sessions are conducted in English and use a range of formats to fit daily life.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy puts the client's concerns and goals first. It involves open conversation, reflective listening, and letting the person guide what matters most in sessions. This approach is useful for relationship questions, parenting stress, and general life adjustments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to build new habits and reduce anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and support better coping with cravings, anger, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps match methods to the issue at hand and the person's comfort with different tools.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps with ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and needs.
