About Doris
Doris Faughnan is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with 17 years of clinical experience in New Hampshire. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, control issues, fatherhood questions, and guilt and shame.
Doris keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people name what they are feeling. She aims to help clients see patterns that keep them stuck and to try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused methods. That mix is used to match how a person prefers to work and what the presenting problem requires. Sessions often move between exploring how past relationships shaped current reactions and practicing concrete skills for handling distress.
Doris brings steady attention and a straightforward style to sessions. She is comfortable exploring painful feelings such as guilt and shame while also focusing on do-able steps. People who want practical support with strong attention to relationship dynamics tend to do well in this approach.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's process to select and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, attentive listening and reflecting a person's experience back to them; this helps people feel understood while they name painful emotions and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into small parts and tests practical changes; it is useful for anxiety, guilt, shame, and mood symptoms.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Doris will work with a person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift and as concrete tools are tried and evaluated together.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people practice skills in the environment where difficulties arise, or choose sessions without being on camera if that feels more comfortable. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling details when you book so they fit your everyday life.
