About Doris
Doris Faughnan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns.

Her style is empathetic and down-to-earth. She listens closely and asks practical questions to uncover what matters most.
Background and approach
Doris uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than sticking to a single method. This keeps sessions focused and relevant to real-life problems. Over 17 years of clinical work, she has worked with people facing addiction, domestic violence aftermath, attachment struggles, codependency, and impulse control issues.
She also addresses feelings of emptiness, isolation, fatherhood concerns, guilt, and shame. Her experience includes supporting people with disruptive mood dysregulation and other mood-related challenges. Doris integrates client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused work.
She also draws on attachment-based and solution-focused ideas to help people build coping strategies and take small steps toward change. Sessions often involve practical tools, clear goals, and space to talk things through. She communicates in English and has some understanding of French and Spanish but conducts therapy in English.
Doris holds an LCMHC credential in New Hampshire and works with each person to set a direction that fits their life.
How counseling approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds affect current patterns. It helps people notice connection needs, set healthier boundaries, and repair hurt in close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and build different behaviors for anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy centers on processing painful memories and reducing their grip on day-to-day life using gradual, paced steps tailored to each person.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Doris reviews your concerns and goals and then suggests ways of working that fit your situation. She adapts methods over time so sessions stay useful as needs change.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from their own city or state without changing routines. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling options before you book to make sure they match your needs.
