About Fulani
Dr. Fulani Doughty uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress, parenting challenges, addictions, mood problems, and relationship struggles. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 17 years of experience.
He talks plainly and works to make sessions useful from the first meeting. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of his toolbox when people need skills for staying present or finding motivation for change. Dr. Doughty has a strong background in education and counseling.
He has worked in behavioral health since 2003 and has experience in school settings and rehabilitation counseling. That history informs how he talks about development, learning, and practical supports. The practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and substance issues.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and fatherhood issues. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People in Georgia will find his location noted as Georgia.
He offers straightforward guidance for parents and adults seeking clearer communication and better day-to-day coping.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions and practical change
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It creates space for people to set goals and steer conversations while the therapist reflects and supports their priorities. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or needs a trusted space to sort through parenting or life stressors.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, sleep issues, mood problems, and everyday stresses.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses focused questions and guided conversation to boost motivation, often useful with addictions, lifestyle shifts, or sticking to parenting plans.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit 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 messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow scheduling around family routines, work, and school, and let people follow up between meetings in ways that suit their day-to-day life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
