About Devin
Devin Brunston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Rhode Island with eight years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and depression, and offers focused support around guilt and shame. Devin speaks English and practices with adults seeking to make changes in their daily lives.
He treats sessions as a place for clear conversation. He helps people name what feels heavy, sort through choices, and build small, doable steps forward. He often focuses on how thoughts and behaviors keep difficult feelings going and what can be shifted in day-to-day life.
Devin frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on. He works in a straightforward way that keeps the client’s goals central. Practical problem solving and learning to notice patterns are common parts of his sessions.
For people dealing with guilt or shame, he pays attention to the context of those feelings - what led to them and how they affect current life. Sessions may explore values, mood, and relationships to find ways to reduce the burden of those feelings.
Devin also supports people managing panic, social anxiety, loneliness, life purpose questions, and sexuality concerns. Before booking, confirm the current session options so they fit your schedule and needs.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and skills practice. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of thinking to reduce distress. Behavioral strategies focus on small, manageable changes in daily routines or exposure to feared situations to lower avoidance and build confidence.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match techniques to the client’s goals and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as needed rather than following a fixed protocol.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins on a break from work. They also offer flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session with lower bandwidth requirements. Ask about the specific formats offered when scheduling to choose what suits your routine.
