About Donyetta
Donyetta Cross is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) in Delaware with 15 years of experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, grief, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem concerns, intimacy questions, and ADHD-related challenges. She also lists life purpose, communication problems, and family problems as focus areas.
Donyetta uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s perspective central. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She also draws from mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and from solution-focused techniques to identify concrete next steps.
In sessions she aims to build a straightforward working relationship and to help people recognize what they already do well. Conversations tend to be practical and goal-oriented, with steps you can try between meetings. She supports parents who are juggling responsibilities and people coping with grief or change.
Her background includes long-term clinical work and a focus on relationship and communication issues. Donyetta emphasizes collaborative problem solving and helps people test small changes that can shift daily life. She names Christian counseling among her approaches, so faith may be included when clients want that addressed.
People often come to her when they are uncertain about next steps in work, relationships, or personal purpose. She asks direct questions, listens for what matters, and works with clients to clarify manageable options moving forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Donyetta often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and building a collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try concrete changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thought and body patterns. Mindfulness can make it easier to spot reactions and try different responses when stress or relationship tensions arise. Together these approaches are practical and oriented toward identifying what to try next rather than only talking about problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donyetta will work with each person to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, or a person-centered style fits best, based on goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
