About Doris
Doris Faughnan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in New Hampshire who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, anger, and relationship troubles. Doris also supports those dealing with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, career stress, and the challenges of life changes. She communicates with warmth and a sense of humor and listens closely to each person's story.
Doris brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work and draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thinking patterns that keep them stuck and try small behavior changes. Solution-focused tools are used to build practical next steps rather than only dwelling on problems.
Her style is client-centered and collaborative. Doris aims to encourage and motivate people while offering straightforward, practical options for coping. Sessions tend to be conversational, goal-oriented, and paced to the client's needs.
In addition to those commonly seen concerns, she addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, fatherhood concerns, impulsivity, isolation, and men’s issues. Doris notes some comprehension of French and Spanish but conducts sessions in English.
She identifies as a certified telehealth provider in her original biography and has years of experience working with a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. Prospective clients can follow the site's intake steps to begin a match and scheduling process.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Doris uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationship patterns. This can help people who feel stuck in repeating cycles of distance, clinginess, or conflict by naming patterns and testing small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger by giving simple exercises and practical strategies.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Doris aims to learn about each person's goals and preferences, and then suggests methods that fit those aims. That process is collaborative and may mix approaches as needs change over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commuting time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling around work or family easier. It also lets people focus on skills practice between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation without waiting.
