Practical, Online Support Grounded in Evidence-Based Approaches
Dr. Fulani Doughty draws from approaches that help clients feel understood while also building concrete skills for day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore stressors, relationships, identity, and life transitions at a pace that feels manageable, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be especially useful when anxiety, depression, anger, or habits feel stuck, offering structured ways to notice unhelpful patterns and practice new responses. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps strengthen motivation for change, often helpful when someone feels ambivalent about next steps in areas like substance use, routines, or personal goals.
