About Donyetta
Donyetta Cross is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults looking for practical help.
She uses a person-centered way of working that starts with listening and building trust. From there she pairs practical tools with thoughtful reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to calm the mind and stay present. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused methods keep conversations goal-directed and practical. Donyetta also brings life values and strengths into sessions so progress fits each person's priorities.
Her experience includes helping people manage family stress, communication problems, parenting strain, anger, and challenges related to ADHD. She helps people sort through grief and relationship pain so they can make steady steps forward. Sessions aim to build skills that can be used between meetings.
People can expect a respectful, direct approach that centers their goals. Donyetta encourages clients to try small changes, review what works, and adjust plans as needed. She frames therapy as a collaborative process toward clearer priorities and better day-to-day coping.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy means sessions begin with listening and understanding each person's situation. That approach helps build a collaborative plan and keeps goals focused on what matters to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, stress, depression, and many parenting concerns by building step-by-step skills to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful moments. These exercises are easy to practice between meetings and fit into daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with regular check-ins to adjust techniques and focus as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy family and work schedules while keeping progress steady.
