About Deonna
Deonna Crabtree is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience in mental health and higher education. She offers a calm, collaborative approach that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, ADHD, mood concerns, and addiction. Her manner is relaxed and conversational to make the first steps easier for worried parents and individuals.
She adapts sessions to each person’s needs and uses practical strategies to address daily challenges.
Background and approach
That can mean looking at thought patterns with cognitive behavioral techniques or focusing on goals and small changes with solution-focused methods. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help moving from thinking about change to actually taking steps. Deonna has helped people managing trauma, grief, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and mood disorders including bipolar and panic-related problems.
She also supports parents dealing with parenting stress, life transitions, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. She is experienced with survivors of abuse and with concerns linked to impulsivity and shame. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so conversations can fit into a busy schedule.
Deonna uses a collaborative process to set goals, track progress, and adjust plans as needs shift. She explains options plainly and focuses on what works in daily life. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits.
Deonna aims to create a straightforward, down-to-earth space where clients can take the next step toward coping and change.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Deonna commonly blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to make online sessions practical and person-focused. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are, which helps build trust and shape the work around each person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood swings, and ADHD-related challenges.Choosing an approach is a shared decision. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what the client finds most helpful. That collaborative process helps identify what actually fits the client’s life and goals rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules are busy or travel makes in-person visits difficult.
