About Deonna
Deonna Crabtree is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience in mental health and higher education. She approaches counseling in a relaxed, collaborative way and aims to make starting therapy feel less intimidating. Her style is conversational and individualized so people can bring what matters most to them into sessions.
She draws on client-centered methods to listen and respond to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas are used when people want practical ways to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, or unhelpful thinking. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform short-term goals and steps for change when that fits a person's goals.
Deonna has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, career issues, and life transitions. Additional focuses include abandonment, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and mood and panic disorders.
Her approach emphasizes tailoring conversations and plans to each person. Sessions are conversational rather than overly formal, with space to talk through emotions and practical next steps. She invites clients to shape the pace and focus of work together.
Deonna communicates in English and practices in Missouri. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
