About Devon

Devon Forney is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with nine years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, and life changes.

She helps people sort through mood swings, panic, and isolation. She works with those facing communication or attachment problems and people coping with drug or alcohol addiction. She also supports young adults who want clearer self-understanding and better emotional regulation.

Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. Devon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-aware perspective. Meetings are conversational and grounded in real-life problems rather than jargon.

She pays attention to patterns in relationships, how shame and guilt show up, and how past hurts affect current choices. In session she offers tools for managing panic attacks, improving communication, and reducing substance-related harms. She also helps people practice self-acceptance and rebuild social connections.

Clients can expect collaboration about targets and steps between sessions. Devon balances active skill teaching with time to reflect on difficult feelings. Her work aims to make daily life easier and to give people concrete ways to cope with setbacks.

She provides services in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a cancelable subscription model. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and remote care

Devon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-aware perspective. Two common approaches she draws on are cognitive-behavioral strategies and skills-based work. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that drive anxiety or depression. Skills-based work teaches concrete tools for managing panic, improving communication, and reducing substance-related urges.

She also emphasizes relational understanding and attachment-informed thinking. This helps people see how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and supports clearer communication and boundary setting. Choosing the right mix of methods is a joint process; she will review options with each person and decide together which techniques fit goals and preferences.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Devon aims to match approach and scheduling to what will work in everyday life rather than impose a single format.
