Dr. Fulani Doughty, LPC

Dr. Fulani Doughty is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma and abuse.

He uses Client-Centered work to listen closely and shape sessions around what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are also part of his mix when they fit the client's preferences.

His background includes public education, rehabilitation counseling, and work across a wide age range in behavioral health since 2003. He has experience with parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, and challenges tied to caregiving stress. Addictions, grief, sleep problems, and relationship struggles are also common topics he addresses.

Dr. Doughty earned multiple degrees including a Doctor of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision. He holds the LPC credential in Georgia. He has lectured and maintained a private practice in Washington, Georgia while also working in educational settings.

In sessions he aims to make therapy understandable and usable. People can expect straightforward conversation, a focus on doable steps, and collaboration on goals. He invites clients to bring the problems they face and to set the pace for change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to set goals and pace. Online sessions can use that same approach by giving space to talk through what feels most urgent and shaping each visit to those priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for spotting thoughts and trying new behaviors. In online sessions CBT can include guided exercises, homework between meetings, and step-by-step practice aimed at problems like anxiety, sleeping issues, or mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then suggest using one or a combination of methods. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling that can match a work break or caregiving routine. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic approaches to remote work while focusing on clear steps and measurable goals.
