About Devon
Devon Forney is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, panic attacks, and feelings of isolation. Devon writes clearly and works with young adults who want stronger self-understanding and better communication skills.
Her style is practical and compassionate. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, useful steps clients can take between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims to create a non-judgmental space where people can talk through hurt, guilt, or shame and practice new ways of coping. Devon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed perspective to guide her work. She helps clients identify patterns, improve emotional regulation, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Substance-related challenges and mood concerns are addressed with sensitivity. In sessions she collaborates on goals and strategies that fit a client’s life. That can mean skill-building for panic and anxiety, communication practice for relationship problems, or planning for big life transitions.
The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes nine years of clinical experience in behavioral health. She uses that experience to tailor support to each person’s needs.
Devon meets people where they are and helps them move forward at a workable pace.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Devon uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, mood concerns, and addiction-related issues. One common approach focuses on skills training for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing and grounding techniques, exposure-based steps when appropriate, and strategies to reduce avoidance. This helps people gain confidence managing sudden anxiety or panic attacks.Another approach emphasizes emotion regulation and relationship skills to address mood disorders and communication problems. Sessions include learning ways to name feelings, shift unhelpful thoughts, and practice clearer communication in everyday interactions. These tools are useful for healing attachment wounds and reducing isolation.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Devon works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time. She explains options plainly and helps clients choose approaches that match their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue steady progress over time.
