Hello, I’m Devon Rankin, LMFT. I’m a graduate of Saint Mary’s College of California and have been a licensed therapist for over 10 years. I’m passionate about supporting families, couples, individuals, teens, and children as they navigate challenges, build resilience, and work toward personal growth. Through a collaborative, compassionate approach, I create a space where clients feel understood and empowered in their journey toward healing and change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll explore the reasons you're seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve from our work together. This time is all about getting to know your goals and preferences for the therapeutic process. You’ll set the pace—whether you prefer to dive straight into the core issues or take a more gradual approach to build trust and understanding, I’m here to support your journey in the way that feels right for you. This session is an opportunity to shape how our time together will look, ensuring it aligns with your unique needs and comfort level.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my versatility and deep empathy. With experience across diverse populations and various settings, I bring a well-rounded understanding of the unique challenges clients may face. This background helps me connect with clients from all walks of life, creating a space where they feel seen, heard, and understood. My ability to relate to my clients allows me to approach therapy with genuine empathy, meeting them wherever they are on their journey with both compassion and effective support.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Devon Rankin, LMFT, applies an integrative approach to therapy, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside culturally sensitive practices, experiential therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Devon tailors each session to honor clients' unique backgrounds and experiences, creating a safe space for self-exploration and growth. Through CBT, clients learn to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, while ACT techniques help them embrace mindfulness and build resilience. By weaving in experiential methods, Devon supports clients in reconnecting with their emotions and core values, fostering meaningful change and lasting emotional well-being.
Couples Counseling
Devon Rankin, LMFT, draws from Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide couples in building stronger, more resilient relationships. Through Gottman-informed techniques, Devon helps partners develop effective communication skills and deepen emotional connection, while EFT addresses underlying attachment needs and supports couples in breaking negative cycles. Devon also incorporates therapeutic homework tailored to each couple’s goals, providing practical tools to reinforce insights from sessions and promote sustained progress in their relationship.
