About Doris
Doris Faughnan is a licensed clinician who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, addictions, and major life changes. She brings 17 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a straightforward, supportive space for people who are worn down by emotional overwhelm or recurring mood struggles. Doris listens closely and asks concrete questions to clarify what matters most.
She favors clear, practical steps and gentle encouragement rather than medical jargon.
Background and approach
Humor and warmth are part of her style when appropriate, and she works to make conversations feel direct and manageable. <brHer approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to center each person’s goals and cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical alternatives.
Trauma-focused and solution-focused tools are used when the situation calls for them. Clients can expect a collaborative process that mixes problem-solving with emotional understanding. Doris pays attention to communication patterns, triggers, and impulsive responses, and she helps people build day-to-day coping skills.
She also supports career concerns and relationship issues from an individual perspective. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC - based in New Hampshire and conducts work in English. Prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Online sessions can look at patterns in close relationships, help name triggers, and practice new ways of relating in everyday situations.Client-centered therapy centers the person's goals and experience. In this style the therapist follows what the person brings, offers reflection, and helps people identify what matters most to them as they make changes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can introduce short skill-building exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to try between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine approaches as progress unfolds.
Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule because it reduces travel time and allows sessions from home or a quiet place. Confirm the available session formats before booking to match what will work best for day-to-day life. Online work can make it simpler to do brief check-ins, practice skills between appointments, and align sessions with work or family routines.
