About Deonna
Deonna Crabtree is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience in mental health and higher education. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship struggles, parenting stress, grief, and anger. Her approach is relaxed and collaborative, and she frames sessions as straightforward conversations rather than formal interviews.
She uses person-centered ideas alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing shows up when people are wrestling with addiction or big changes, and solution-focused ideas help keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. Deonna adapts what she uses to the issue at hand and the pace each person prefers.
Her background includes long experience supporting people who have survived sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, and she has worked with concerns that range from panic attacks and mood disorders to eating issues and intimacy difficulties. She has also supported people dealing with abandonment, infidelity, divorce and separation, and family problems.
Sessions are conversational and intended to help people reduce stressors that lead to anger, frustration, and impulsive reactions. Deonna encourages clear, manageable steps you can try between meetings, such as small behavior changes and thought records that build awareness.
If you want straightforward, practical conversations about anger, relationships, or life transitions, she guides people through small experiments and goal checks. To begin, follow the site's process to see online therapy options and schedule a first session.
Approaches used online and what they do
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions to anger, relationship problems, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It helps identify unhelpful thinking that fuels anger and teaches practical tools like thought records and behavior experiments to reduce reactive responses.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes, such as addressing addictive behavior or shifting long-standing habits. It uses short conversations to build commitment and small, achievable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That decision is flexible and can change as sessions progress.
