Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dr. Doughty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, sleep problems, and anger. Client-centered therapy is also part of his approach, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so clients can explore values and make choices that align with their goals. These approaches often work well together, allowing for both structured skill-building and deeper personal exploration.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist partners with each person to clarify needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques accordingly. That collaborative process can include trying different methods and adjusting the plan as progress is made, with an emphasis on practical steps the client can use between sessions.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from across Georgia. These options create flexibility for scheduling, allow for shorter check-ins or longer sessions as needed, and let clients use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward their goals.
