About Fulani
Dr. Fulani Doughty is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 17 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and issues around self-esteem and identity. He also lists ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep difficulties, anger, parenting concerns, and matters tied to adoption and foster care.
He uses practical, talk-based methods in sessions. That often means listening to what feels most urgent, naming the patterns that keep someone stuck, and trying small experiments to see what changes. Sessions can include straightforward cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to manage strong feelings. Dr. Doughty also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to help people clarify values and make meaning.
His background blends clinical counseling and education. He has worked in behavioral health since 2003 and has experience in rehabilitation counseling and public education, including special education and school counseling roles. He has also been involved in workforce and organizational development work.
Dr. Doughty holds multiple degrees in counseling, education, and related fields and has taught as a lecturer. He maintains a private practice in Washington, Georgia. His experience includes helping people affected by addiction and by family and parenting stresses.
In session he tends to be direct and practical. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and which small steps could lead there. People who carry guilt or shame can bring specific incidents, identity concerns, or relational patterns to work through during appointments.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered work begins by listening to what matters most to the client and following their pace. It focuses on reflecting concerns, clarifying goals, and making choices that fit the client's life. This approach is useful for exploring guilt, identity, and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps by naming unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT gives practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns linked to shame. Mindfulness practices are used to notice painful feelings without immediately reacting, which can reduce rumination and support steadier decision making.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness, or client-centered reflection.
