Devon Forney, LCPC

Devon Forney is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois who supports people facing complex emotional challenges with compassionate, tailored care. She focuses on helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions while addressing related concerns such as attachment struggles, substance use, and feelings of isolation. Devon combines practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a trauma-informed perspective to help clients understand patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Her work often centers on young adults, guiding them toward clearer self-understanding, improved communication, and greater self-compassion. Devon aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore past wounds, confront guilt or shame, and cultivate healthier relationships with themselves and others. She meets each person where they are and collaborates with them to develop realistic strategies for growth.

With nine years of experience, Devon integrates clinical knowledge and a collaborative style to support recovery from mood and panic disorders, address addiction and family concerns, and work through issues like forgiveness and loneliness. Her approach emphasizes respect for each individual’s journey and practical steps toward sustainable change.

Evidence-Informed Care and Online Access

Devon Forney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and structured strategies to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. These approaches emphasize measurable goals, coping tools, and gradual changes that help clients manage day-to-day challenges and improve mood and functioning.

She also practices from a trauma-informed lens, which means she attends to past experiences that may affect current reactions and relationships. This perspective helps clients feel understood and supported while working through issues like attachment problems, shame, or family conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Devon works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so the methods fit the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access a licensed professional from varied locations, accommodate busy calendars, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
