Doris Faughnan

Doris Faughnan is an LCMHC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship struggles. She brings 17 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most right now.

Doris listens carefully and keeps things simple. She uses clear questions and short, goal-focused steps so clients can make visible progress. Humor and warmth appear naturally in sessions, along with steady encouragement to try new coping strategies.

Her work often draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to follow the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Doris has long worked with people dealing with trauma, abuse, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. She helps people handle anger, shame, and feelings of emptiness while building better routines for everyday life. Career concerns and coaching around life transitions are also part of her practice.

She can understand some French and some Spanish but conducts sessions in English. Doris is based in New Hampshire and holds an LCMHC license there. To begin, people use the platform's Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care

Doris often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence present relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and distance so they can try different ways of relating.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT offers simple exercises and experiments that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety, low mood, and impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Doris will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferred ways of working, then choose methods that fit those needs. The plan can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone participate without being on camera or allow therapists and clients to use worksheets and exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to the online setting to help people move toward clearer thinking and steadier routines.
