   Yes, you really do need to work with a mental health professional for this.  This is unusual behavior!  And you need to find the reason.  Yes, kids of this age do cry attempting to manipulate situations to get there way, but not with everybody all the time.
    I have seen some situations like this with children with sensory processing disorder.  I think it would be worth your time to check out this link.

Your daughter does cry for a reason.  The question is why and what is making her cry?  Is it because she is hurting emotionally or physically?  Or is it that she is attempting to manipulate situations to get her way?  By your description, it is very hard to determine.  But please keep in mind that there is a reason for her crying.  Until you know the reason, the crying probably will continue.

What I would do is work with a mental health professional regarding this issue.  The therapist would be instrumental in helping your daughter appropriately express her feelings and get to the reason for her crying.
