About Deonna
Deonna Crabtree is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 20 years of experience in mental health and higher education. She uses a relaxed, collaborative style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and other life changes. Her approach aims to make beginning counseling feel less intimidating and more like a conversation.
She adapts sessions to each person's needs, drawing on client-centered methods that focus on the person's own goals and strengths.

Deonna also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify thinking patterns that keep problems going and to build practical skills for coping and mood management. Her background includes work across the lifespan, and she has supported people facing trauma and abuse, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, grief, and issues with self-esteem and relationships.
She has experience with survivors of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and with a broad range of concerns such as addiction, panic attacks, and parenting stress. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She frames therapy as a partnership and tailors treatment plans to fit what each person needs and wants to achieve.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and support. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what’s said, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach works well for issues like low self-esteem, relationship questions, and the stress that follows big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, panic attacks, mood problems, and anger. Sessions often include simple homework to practice new skills between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, brief coaching, or people who want written reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
