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 facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, addiction, parenting strain, grief, relationship challenges, and trauma. Deonna also addresses issues such as self-esteem, ADHD, anger, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is collaborative and relaxed. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on small steps that clients can try between meetings.

Deonna has experience supporting people who have survived sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. She has worked across the lifespan in prior roles, including with young children and older adults, and brings that perspective into planning treatment for adults today. She will listen to what matters most and adapt the plan to those concerns.

In sessions she favors straightforward talk - like a conversation over coffee - and focuses on what can be changed now. That can include adjusting thoughts and behaviors, setting achievable goals, and building skills for handling panic, anger, or overwhelming stress.

Her practice recognizes common family and parenting pressures and how they affect daily life. Adults who are juggling parenting responsibilities, separation or divorce, caregiving, or difficult family dynamics may find the sessions focused on practical ways to manage those pressures.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Deonna draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, helping people name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like panic or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deonna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, or phone conversations when video isn’t practical. The focus is on making sessions work around everyday responsibilities and on using practical strategies you can apply between meetings.
