Devon Forney

Devon Forney is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and the loneliness that can come with big life changes. She works with people who face relationship struggles, addiction concerns, panic attacks, and the everyday weight of guilt or shame.

Devon offers a calm, non-judgmental space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Sessions aim to build stronger communication, healthier attachment patterns, and better coping skills. She places extra emphasis on supporting young adults as they grow into more confident, independent people.

Her background is grounded in nine years of clinical experience and the credential LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She practices in Illinois and works with clients in English, including people outside the U.S.

Devon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-aware perspective to guide her work. Conversations focus on practical tools, healing from past hurts, and finding ways to reconnect with others and oneself. She helps clients set realistic goals and develop habits that support emotional well-being.

To begin, Devon asks people to reflect on current struggles and goals so sessions can be tailored. She treats each person as an individual and partners with them to find what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Evidence-based approaches and remote care

Devon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then testing small changes to see what reduces anxiety and improves mood. This helps people who feel stuck by giving concrete actions they can try between sessions.

Another approach centers on improving attachment and communication. Sessions look at how past relationships influence current interactions and teach clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries. This work is useful for easing loneliness and strengthening connections with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Devon will work with each person to choose which techniques fit their goals, values, and daily life. She adjusts methods as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.

Practical benefits of online therapy vary by provider and are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. People often find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and keeping continuity during life transitions. Devon aims to make sessions focused and useful so they can slot into ordinary days without adding extra stress.
