About Fulani
Dr. Fulani Doughty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. He draws on 17 years in behavioral health to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, addictions, and relationship concerns.
He takes a straightforward, calm approach that aims to make sessions feel useful and clear. He works with people facing grief, trauma, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. He also focuses on parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
His background includes rehabilitation counseling and experience in public education settings. Dr. Doughty uses client-centered methods to build a respectful, listening-first relationship.
He pairs that with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing are added when they suit a person’s goals. Over nearly two decades he has moved between classroom, clinic, and community settings.
That variety shaped a practical style that emphasizes simple skills, clear goals, and steady problem solving. Sessions tend to focus on immediate steps and long-term coping plans. People often come for help with work stress, relationship communication, substance use concerns, or parenting strains.
Dr. Doughty aims to make conversations direct and actionable so people can try new strategies between sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s concerns first. Online sessions let the therapist respond to what matters most and follow the client’s lead when setting goals. This works well for relationship worries, parenting stress, and general adjustment issues.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In online sessions, CBT often includes short exercises, worksheets, and step-by-step plans people can use between meetings to address anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, or sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That keeps the work collaborative and focused on practical steps the client can use day to day.
Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to follow through on agreed plans.
