Christopher Dougherty, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Christopher!

I believe all people can and do get better with the proper guidance. I work with individuals ready to make meaningful change in their lives.

My focus

I work with veterans, men, children, and teens struggling with trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, school, and work-related issues. I most enjoy working with people who are ready to change, no matter what they are facing.

My approach

I draw from ACT, CBT, CPT, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Person-Centered, and SFBT approaches. I meet you where you are and use these tools to give you deeper insight and develop practical ways to work towards a better place.

My communication style

Clients say I listen and help them look at things from a new perspective while being real and practical in a way that shows I care about them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been a helper. I started volunteering with children in poverty, helping them with tutoring and support. I realized helping people be better is why I do what I do.

My goals for you

I am here to help you achieve your goals. We will discuss what you are seeking and determine which therapeutic approaches would be most beneficial to your situation, ensuring your goals are what you want and are attainable.

Our first session

The first session is getting to know each other and answering any questions you may have. You set the pace as we start building a plan moving forward. You should leave feeling hopeful and with some actionable things to try before we meet again.
