Doris Faughnan

Doris Faughnan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and grief. She offers a steady, listening presence and brings a direct but compassionate style to conversations. Doris aims to help people find practical ways to cope and move forward when life feels overwhelming.

Her approach is grounded in several evidence-informed methods. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Trauma-focused work is used when past hurts continue to affect day-to-day life.

Doris also uses client-centered and solution-focused tools that keep sessions practical and goal oriented. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works with each person to set achievable steps between sessions. That can mean small behavior changes, new communication habits, or strategies for managing intense emotions.

She describes herself as motivated, conscientious, and perceptive, with a caring manner and a sense of humor. Doris understands some French and some Spanish but conducts sessions in English. Her practice is based in New Hampshire where she combines experience with a straightforward, collaborative style.

People who choose her often want clear, usable skills for coping, better ways to manage mood and relationships, or help recovering from difficult experiences. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to take one step toward scheduling a first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections influence current feelings and reactions, and it helps people understand patterns that show up in relationships. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can discover their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods together. That collaborative planning helps people try techniques and notice what helps in daily life.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It can also let people use tools like guided worksheets or skill practice between sessions, supporting steady progress while balancing everyday demands.
