Deonna Crabtree , LPC

Deonna Crabtree is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field and higher education. She has supported people across the lifespan, working with clients as young as four and with older adults, and brings a collaborative, individualized, and relaxed approach to each therapeutic relationship.

Her style blends practical techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy with the empathy and presence of person-centered work and elements of reality therapy, allowing her to adapt interventions to the needs of each person she sees. She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship challenges, self-image issues, self-harm, and survivors of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Treatment plans and conversations are tailored to the unique goals and circumstances of each client.

Clients often describe her as relaxed and laid-back, and she likens counseling to a conversation over coffee. Because many sessions take place virtually, she encourages people to create a comfortable space for themselves - whether that means settling on a couch with a warm drink or walking while talking. The focus is on showing up as you are and knowing that is enough. She looks forward to working with you. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that denotes formal training and licensure to provide counseling in Missouri.
