About Donyetta
Donyetta Cross is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) in Delaware with 15 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship strain. She also helps with self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach centers on the person rather than labels. She uses client-centered methods to listen first and shape goals with each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are tools she brings in to help people notice thinking patterns and manage reactions in the moment.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. She draws on solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to help people set small, doable steps. That can look like testing a new way to speak up at work or practicing a short breathing routine before a tense conversation.
She blends talk-based work with skills practice. People will talk through specific incidents, try different responses, and track what helps. The therapist also supports exploring values and purpose when that feels connected to current struggles.
Donyetta emphasizes honesty and mutual respect. She works with people who want direct feedback and concrete strategies. Her background includes many years helping adults navigate family problems, communication breakdowns, and the ongoing frustration that can come from daily life.
If you want to address anger, resentment, or losing your temper, she offers guidance on what to do in the moment and how to reduce built-up frustration over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy in her practice means the therapist listens closely and helps you set the agenda. That approach supports talking through specific anger moments and deciding what to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In sessions she might help identify triggers, practice alternative responses, and set small homework tasks to try between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing exercises to use when frustration rises. Those techniques are presented simply so they can be used during a quick pause or before a difficult conversation.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods feel useful given their goals and day-to-day life. Expect decisions about technique and pace to come from ongoing conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
If you want to meet online, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The focus in remote work remains the same: practical steps to reduce anger episodes and improve how you respond in stressful moments.
