Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Therapy
Devon Forney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which means sessions focus on practical, research-informed tools that can be applied to everyday life. This kind of work can be especially helpful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and coping with major transitions, because it emphasizes clear goals, skill-building, and measurable progress over time.Her trauma-informed lens is another important part of her approach. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, trauma-informed care considers how past experiences may shape current emotions, reactions, and relationships. It can support clients who feel stuck in patterns such as isolation, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, or recurring panic symptoms, while keeping the pace grounded and respectful.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Devon collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as those needs evolve.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet with Devon by video calls or phone sessions, and they can use live chat or text-based messaging for additional support between sessions, making it easier to stay engaged even with a busy schedule or changing routines.
