01About Deonna
Deonna Crabtree uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals in focus. She is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with 20 years of experience in mental health and higher education. Her manner is relaxed and collaborative, designed to make starting therapy feel less intimidating.
She draws from practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address stress, anxiety, and depression. She also helps people coping with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, panic, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. Deonna has worked with people who have survived abuse and those facing grief, relationship struggles, or addiction. She supports conversations about intimacy, parenting strains, career stress, and life changes.
Topics like abandonment, guilt, and forgiveness are also within her focus areas. Her style aims for straightforward conversation instead of heavy clinical language. People can expect a calm, down-to-earth tone and a focus on concrete steps to feel better.
She will collaborate with clients to set goals and track small changes over time. Online sessions are part of her practice, and she offers several remote formats to fit different schedules and needs. The first step is a short matching questionnaire that helps connect you to a therapist and schedule sessions that fit your routine.

How client-centered and CBT work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your priorities and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what you say, and helps you set goals that matter to you. This approach is helpful for people feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches straightforward techniques to manage anxiety, panic, low mood, and impulsive behaviors. CBT often uses short, practical exercises that can be done between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your situation. That collaboration helps shape a plan that matches your preferences and what you want to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make regular sessions easier to maintain. Video calls let you hold more traditional conversations while wearing comfortable clothing or sitting where you prefer. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or a walk. Live chat and text-based messaging can make quick check-ins and brief reflections easier to schedule during a busy week. These options let you pick the format that fits your routine and energy level.
