Deonna Crabtree, LPC

Deonna Crabtree is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field and higher education. She has supported people across the lifespan, from young children as young as four to older adults, drawing on a collaborative and individualized approach that emphasizes practical strategies and personal strengths.

Her counseling style is relaxed and approachable, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques with person-centered and reality-based methods to create a treatment plan tailored to each person’s needs. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship concerns, self-image difficulties, self-harm, and recovery for survivors of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.

Deonna adapts interventions to fit unique circumstances and goals, integrating elements of evidence-informed practice while keeping sessions conversational and grounded. Clients often describe her as relaxed and laid-back, and she frames therapeutic work as a supportive conversation rather than a formal interrogation. Because many sessions are held virtually, people commonly participate from a comfortable space of their choosing, whether at home or while on the move.

Throughout her career she has emphasized individualized planning and a calm, steady presence when helping people navigate stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, mood and eating concerns, addiction and recovery, grief, parenting issues, career transitions, and other life changes.
