About Fulani
Dr. Fulani Doughty is an LPC with 17 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related concerns. He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help people find clearer routines and better day-to-day coping. His approach aims to make sessions feel like a sensible next step rather than a lecture.
Dr. Doughty blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they match a person’s goals, especially around substance use and motivation to change.
He has a background in education and rehabilitation counseling, which shapes how he thinks about learning new habits and returning to work or school. This background includes experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and codependency.
Sessions often focus on practical skills - setting boundaries, improving communication, managing sleep and anger, and planning steps for recovery from substance use. He also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy struggles, self-esteem, and career challenges.
Dr. Doughty practices in Georgia and offers a session style that emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps. People who prefer direct, action-focused conversations may find his way of working helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client, helping people set goals and make choices that fit their lives.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change patterns that keep problems going.
Existential therapy invites people to reflect on meaning, responsibility, and values when life feels uncertain. It can help when major changes or grief raise questions about purpose and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different ways of working and checking in about what helps most.
