About Douglas
Douglas "Doug" Hickey is an Ohio LPCC with five years of clinical experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. He offers direct, practical sessions that focus on what a person is facing now and on steps they can take next.
Doug uses mindfulness-based and functional approaches to help people identify patterns that keep problems going. He emphasizes skills people can practice between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with time spent on what is working and what needs to change.
In sessions Doug helps people talk through mood shifts, manage worry, and address addictive behaviors. He also assists with relationship strain and the ups and downs of bipolar disorder and depression. Sessions often include breathing or attention exercises alongside discussion of daily routines and habits.
He explains ideas in clear language and checks in about how strategies fit day-to-day life. Progress is tracked through practical steps, not abstract concepts. This approach is aimed at people who want concrete tools as well as space to talk.
Clients begin by identifying a few immediate goals. From there Doug and the client map small, achievable changes and skills to practice. He encourages regular review of what helps and what needs adjusting so work stays relevant to the client's life.

How his approaches map to online work
Doug draws on mindfulness-based techniques that focus attention skills and present-moment awareness to reduce worry and reactivity. These practices are taught in simple steps and are useful for stress, anxiety, and mood management.He also uses functional approaches that look at daily routines, behaviors, and triggers. This helps identify root patterns that keep problems going and suggests small, testable changes to daily life.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Doug will review your goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what fits your needs and preferences. He treats the first few sessions as a chance to discover what works and to set realistic short-term goals together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not practical. It can also allow exercises and skill practice to be discussed in the context of everyday routines.
