    About Donyetta

    Donyetta Cross is a licensed professional mental health counselor (LPMHC) based in Delaware who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She draws on Motivational Interviewing and client-centered ideas to help people consider change at their own pace. Her style is warm and straightforward and emphasizes respect and collaboration.

    She has 15 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, stress, and grief. She also helps clients facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. Parenting stress, attention differences such as ADHD, and questions about life purpose are also areas she commonly addresses.

    Donyetta blends practical skills with reflective conversation. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to steady strong emotions, or solution-focused steps to try small, doable changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.

    Sessions aim to identify realistic goals and simple actions that fit daily life. She encourages clients to be the expert on their own experience while offering tools and feedback to move forward. People who prefer a direct yet compassionate approach often find this style useful.

    Her background includes national board certification and a practice grounded in faith for those who want it included. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to begin with a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

  2. Using Motivational Interviewing and Practical Methods Online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people explore their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to draw out motivation and reduce ambivalence. This approach can be useful when someone feels unsure about taking the next step.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding and empathy. The therapist follows the person's lead and offers support that respects individual values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try different tools and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make steady progress.

    Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills between sessions in real life and bring real situations into conversation with the therapist.
