Anne (Devon) Burnore

Anne (Devon) Burnore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people navigate life transitions, stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and relationship and family tensions. Her approach centers on each person she meets and on the changes they want to make.

Devon practices in North Carolina and has worked with a wide range of people and situations over her career. She has experience supporting those facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy difficulties, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and challenges with sleep, eating, or substance use. She also helps people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other complex, overlapping issues.

Her counseling style is client-centered. Sessions follow the pace and goals a person sets. She often uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful, along with existential perspectives and relationship-focused methods like the Gottman approach.

In a session clients can expect practical conversation, goal-focused planning, and attention to everyday coping skills. Devon frames counseling as a process of change that can feel hopeful and sometimes hard, and she aims to support steady progress.

She describes her work as open-minded and compassionate. People who want a therapist who listens first, then offers concrete strategies tailored to their situation may find her approach a good fit.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach center on what matters most to the person and allow the counselor to reflect and clarify concerns in plain terms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-based. In remote sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and practicing tools between appointments to reduce anxiety or manage mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Via online work clients can learn grounding, distress-tolerance, and communication strategies they can use in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend ways of working that fit. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to suit a person's schedule and goals, helping therapy feel practical and reachable.
