About Donyetta

Donyetta Cross is an LPMHC who draws on 15 years of practice to support people working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She centers therapy on the person in front of her, combining cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients develop practical skills and new perspectives. Her approach emphasizes respect, honesty, and collaboration while encouraging clients to build on their own strengths and insights.

Across a professional history that includes family-related work and attention to parenting and communication problems, she helps people address anger, intimacy issues, life purpose questions, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions aim to empower individuals to identify goals, practice strategies that fit their daily life, and make measurable changes over time.

Located in Delaware, she brings a compassionate, straightforward style that supports steady progress while honoring each client’s expertise about their life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience with empathy and respect, creating space for someone to explore values and goals while the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention practices and grounding techniques that help reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in daily life.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to tailor methods to each individual's needs and preferences. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan so the work fits the client's life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and to choose formats that match their schedule and communication style, making it easier to maintain continuity and practice skills between sessions.
