About Doris
Doris Faughnan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, mood disorders, and major life changes. Doris speaks English and brings a straightforward, encouraging presence to sessions.
Her style is warm and responsive. She listens closely and helps people set small, achievable goals. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change. Humor and plain language are part of how she connects and keeps work manageable.
Doris draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s lead and prioritize their needs. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when that fits the person’s goals.
Clients can expect a calm, attentive approach that balances empathy with clear steps forward. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency, control struggles, impulsivity, and fatherhood concerns when they come up. Her background includes work with people facing trauma, domestic violence, and substance use challenges.

How these approaches translate to online work
Doris blends client-centered therapy with attachment-based and cognitive behavioral methods in ways that are easy to use in remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s goals, and letting the person lead the pace of work. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and help people recognize how those patterns affect current behavior and feelings. Cognitive behavioral techniques teach simple skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions, which can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Doris will talk with each person about their goals, challenges, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit short check-ins into a busy week. Because session formats were not specified in the original biography, confirm current session options before booking to learn what is offered. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills where they matter most.
