Dr. Fulani Doughty

Dr. Fulani Doughty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. He draws on 17 years of experience in behavioral health and brings a calm, practical style to sessions. He is based in Georgia and works with adults on a range of life and mental health challenges.

He uses straightforward conversation to clarify goals and find workable steps forward.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of his toolkit when motivation or emotion regulation are central issues.

His background includes clinical mental health, rehabilitation counseling, and experience in public education, including special education and school counseling. That mix informs a focus on practical supports like educational planning, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care. He also brings experience working with addiction and recovery-related concerns.

Dr. Doughty holds multiple graduate degrees and a Doctor of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision. He teaches and consults in addition to maintaining a private practice in Georgia. His years in education shape a direct, explanatory approach during sessions.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals, small behavior changes, and communication skills. He helps people address family dynamics, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and anger, and career stress. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy flow to begin the matching and scheduling process.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's goals and perspective. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches simple strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress and anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest and try approaches that seem to fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what does not, so finding the best method is part of the work together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days and cut travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use online work to keep continuity of care and follow up on homework, coping strategies, and goal progress without requiring in-person visits.
