About Devin
Devin Brunston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Rhode Island with eight years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also supports people facing loneliness, guilt and shame, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose.
Devin encourages clients to speak about what feels most pressing. Sessions focus on practical conversation and small, manageable steps. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
In the room, Devin listens for patterns that keep people stuck. He helps clients break those patterns into specific, changeable parts. That can mean trying new ways of responding to stress, testing out social situations, or practicing short skills between sessions.
Devin pays attention to how mood and day-to-day habits interact. He supports people who are struggling with panic, social anxiety, or motivation by making the work concrete and actionable. He frames progress as gradual and measurable rather than sudden.
For someone unsure what comes next after a job change, a relationship shift, or a health event, Devin helps sort priorities and clarify next steps. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How evidence-based techniques map to remote sessions
Devin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing behaviors and thinking patterns. One common approach is behavioral work that breaks large problems into small, testable steps - helpful for managing panic attacks, social anxiety, and low motivation. Another is cognitive-focused work that looks at unhelpful thoughts and tries alternative ways of interpreting situations to reduce anxiety and depressive moods.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Devin collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals and day-to-day life. He checks progress and adjusts the approach as needs shift so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Devin aims to help people use sessions in ways that fit ordinary days, such as focused skill practice, planning small steps, or working through decisions about career and relationships.
