About Devon
Devon Forney is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, depression, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She draws on nine years of clinical experience to help clients manage panic attacks, mood disorders, substance-related concerns, and the interpersonal patterns that contribute to isolation or family conflict. Devon names self-love, forgiveness, and communication skill-building among the practical goals she helps clients pursue.
Her practice centers on compassionate, individualized care that emphasizes emotional safety and collaborative problem solving. Devon often works with young adults to strengthen self-understanding, improve attachment and communication, and build resilience after difficult experiences.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-aware perspective to guide work on guilt and shame, addiction recovery, and repairing relationship dynamics. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental setting where past wounds are explored and concrete strategies are developed to support personal growth.
Devon combines clinical knowledge with an affirming stance to help each person recognize strengths, navigate transitions, and move toward healthier patterns of relating and coping.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Devon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, mood concerns, and addiction-related challenges. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills and emotion regulation to reduce panic attacks and manage mood swings, helping clients develop tools they can use in daily life. Another approach emphasizes improving attachment and communication patterns, which supports repairing relationship dynamics and reducing isolation by teaching clearer expression and healthier boundaries.Finding the right method is collaborative; Devon works with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work over time, combining skills training, relational exploration, and trauma-aware practices as appropriate so clients feel involved in shaping their care.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and geographically distant clients. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different settings.
