About Devin
Devin Brunston helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns related to sexuality and LGBT identity. He also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Devin is a Rhode Island licensed mental health counselor with eight years of clinical experience.
Devin approaches each person as the expert on their own life. He looks for strengths to build on and practical steps that can reduce overwhelm. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that add up over time.
How Devin works
In a typical session Devin talks through what is most urgent and then works with the person to try manageable strategies. He pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships affect mood and stress. The pace adapts to what feels doable for the person in front of him.
Devin also helps people name and work through feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and social anxiety. He supports those who are navigating mood disorders and panic attacks, and those questioning life purpose or sexual identity. His style is straightforward and respectful.
Devin encourages practical tools you can use between sessions, and he celebrates small gains. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Devin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns that increase anxiety and low mood; it helps people notice thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking to reduce distress. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes and exposure to reduce avoidance in social anxiety and panic; it involves gradual steps to face feared situations and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Devin collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. He explains options in plain language and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and surroundings allow. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and work well for brief check-ins or when being on camera is not needed. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
