About Fulani
Dr. Fulani Doughty, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 17 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. He also works with parenting and intimacy-related issues and addresses sleep, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns.
He uses practical, conversational methods that focus on what people think and do day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach he uses to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. He also draws on client-centered, existential, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing ideas when they fit the person’s goals.
Dr. Doughty’s background includes clinical mental health and rehabilitation counseling, plus public education experience in special education and school counseling. He has worked in behavioral health since 2003 and has supported people with addiction and rehabilitation concerns as part of that work.
His training includes degrees in counseling, education, and related fields, and he has served as a lecturer while maintaining a private practice in Washington, Georgia. He has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, co-morbidity, codependency, and related family problems.
In sessions he focuses on concrete skills and problem solving. That can mean tracking thoughts and behaviors, trying new coping steps between sessions, and using mindfulness to reduce reactivity. He encourages clear goals and regular review of progress to see what is helping.
How CBT and related approaches are used online
Dr. Doughty draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and then try concrete changes. CBT sessions often include tracking patterns, practicing alternative responses, and setting short experiments to test what works for stress, anxiety, sleeping, and mood concerns.He also uses client-centered ideas that focus on listening and reflecting to clarify goals. Existential therapy may appear when people want to examine values, meaning, and life choices; that approach is more conversational and big-picture in tone. These approaches are practical and aim to match the work to what the person wants to change.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adjust the approach based on progress and feedback.

Some approaches, like CBT homework and mindfulness practice, translate easily to remote sessions and can be used to support progress between meetings.
