About Fulani
Dr. Fulani Doughty is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 17 years of experience. He supports adults with common early-adulthood pressures such as stress, anxiety, career concerns, relationship questions, and issues around identity and self-esteem. He also works with addictions, grief, trauma, ADHD, mood concerns, and parenting-related strain.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people sort priorities and make practical changes. Sessions often focus on clearer thinking, breaking habits that cause harm, and improving daily routines like sleep and work-life balance. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Client-Centered methods to keep the pace driven by the person's needs.
Dr. Doughty combines experience from school counseling, rehabilitation, and clinical practice. That background means he can talk about school-to-work transitions, workplace stress, and rehabilitation concerns without jargon. He has worked with adoption, attachment, blended family issues, and fatherhood topics in past roles.
He also uses Existential and Motivational Interviewing ideas to help people clarify values and find reasons to change. Mindfulness techniques are used to manage agitation, sleep problems, and anxiety in short, practical exercises. He explains tools plainly and checks they fit into everyday life.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on letting the person set the pace and topics. The therapist listens and reflects so the person can decide what matters and move forward at a comfortable rate. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed by choices or unsure where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions identify patterns that keep stress or anxiety going and introduce simple experiments to test new habits. CBT is useful for sleep problems, anxiety, low mood, and managing impulsive behaviors related to addiction.
Mindfulness techniques are short practices used to reduce agitation and improve focus. These exercises are practical tools people can use between sessions to handle stress and improve sleep.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, test methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that aims to match methods to current needs and preferences.
