01About Devon
Devon Forney helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, depression, and major life changes. She is a licensed clinician in Illinois with nine years of experience guiding people through these challenges. Devon writes plainly and uses practical steps so clients can try small changes between sessions.
She focuses on young adult issues, attachment concerns, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness. Drug and alcohol addiction, mood disorders, panic attacks, guilt and shame, and family-related difficulties are also areas she addresses.
Background and approach
Conversations center on what is happening now and what can be done next. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Devon offers a calm, non-judgmental space where people can name what hurts and test different ways of coping.
She helps clients build clearer communication skills and stronger emotional awareness. Her work uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed perspective. That means practical strategies are paired with attention to how past experiences affect current reactions.
Clients leave with concrete steps to practice between meetings. Devon aims to meet each person where they are and to tailor plans to real-life constraints. She supports self-love, forgiveness work, and rebuilding trust in relationships.
The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Devon uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to address common struggles. One approach focuses on skills training for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and build confidence. Another approach targets mood and addiction-related patterns by helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then replace them with small, manageable changes that support recovery and emotional stability.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts methods as needed. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust plans so the work matches real-life needs and pacing.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, a school schedule, or life with changing routines.
