About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. She tends to work with motivated individuals who carry significant responsibility and who feel the pressure of being strong for others.
Her tone is steady and practical and she offers a space where people can stop holding everything together alone. She listens for what matters most and helps people name the patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, doable steps alongside reflection about past and present relationships. Clients leave with actions to try between sessions and new ways to handle emotional overload. Deidra-Ann draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape reactions today.
She also uses client-centered techniques to follow the person’s lead and cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused work and elements of the Gottman Method appear when couples or relationship issues are central. Her background includes 12 years of counseling experience in Texas.
She combines practical insight with a pastoral perspective, so conversations may include values and meaning when clients want that included. She conducts sessions in English and accepts clients internationally. Practical options for meeting include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their routine.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and closeness. This approach helps when trust, attachment issues, or patterns of emotional distance are causing pain. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and creating a space where they feel heard; it supports people who want a reflective, respectful listener. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so everyday functioning improves.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one method first and adapting over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, processing between appointments, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
