About Doris
Doris Faughnan is an LCMHC in New Hampshire with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, trauma, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and life changes. Doris also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, control issues, and men’s issues among others.
Doris takes a practical, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens and helps people name what is most pressing. Conversations typically look like clear problem spotting, trying small changes, and checking what helps next. She uses methods drawn from attachment work, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused care.
Her style is straightforward. She encourages direct communication and tries to keep goals realistic and manageable. Clients who struggle with impulsivity, isolation, substance problems, guilt and shame, or fatherhood challenges can find focused support for concrete steps forward.
Doris speaks English in sessions. She understands some French and Spanish but conducts sessions in English only. She practices in New Hampshire as an LCMHC and brings nearly two decades of experience to common early-adult problems like starting work, relationship stress, and feeling behind peers.

How Doris's approaches translate to online work
Doris uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This helps with issues like abandonment, codependency, and difficulty trusting others. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own next steps; it often suits those who need a calmer, conversational style. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test small changes to see what works; this can be useful for anxiety, mood problems, and impulses.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Doris treats that as a collaborative process. Together they will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. She frames the choices as experiments rather than fixed prescriptions so goals stay realistic and practical.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Once formats are confirmed, online sessions can make regular check-ins easier, allow shorter focused conversations when time is tight, and allow for flexible timing around work or study commitments.
