Chris DeVinney

Chris DeVinney is a Licensed Professional Counselor and is certified as a Sex Therapist by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. She provides relationship and sex therapy to adult individuals, couples, and other relationship structures.

She is sex-positive, kink-, queer-, trans-, and consensual non-monogamy-friendly. Her goal is to help clients optimize intimacy and healthy engagement in their relationships by improving communication, building and/or rebuilding trust, releasing shame, and embracing self-acceptance.

Chris came to counseling following a career in advocacy and public policy. She completed undergraduate studies at Georgia State University (GSU), graduate training at both University of Georgia and at GSU in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

She aims to help clients optimize their intimate relationships and embrace the vitality that comes from fully expressing one’s sexual self. She’s spent more than a decade studying human sexuality — gender and sexual diversity, kink, fetish, consensual non-monogamy, infidelity, desire discrepancy in relationships, and sexual functioning changes that occur throughout the lifespan or accompanying major life transitions such as childbirth, aging, grief, and illness.

Chris brings warmth and empathy to her work, aiming to provide a non-judgmental, affirming environment that promotes healing, positive growth, and letting go of old patterns that no longer serve. Her approach is grounded in understanding how a client’s attachment style and protection strategies affect interactions and communication in relationships, and she draws on evidence-based strategies that help build solid, lasting relationships.

She is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Sex Therapy, Internal Family Systems, trauma, mindfulness, and substance use recovery. Chris has experience working with neurodiverse clients as well as clients struggling with anxiety and depression.

Chris is licensed to provide counseling services to clients in Georgia and to clients in Florida via telehealth. https://flhealthsource.gov/telehealth
