About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, and life changes. She works with clients dealing with addictions, intimacy concerns, eating issues, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of emotional and relational struggles. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical work.
Sessions aim to shine light on patterns that cause pain and build skills to respond differently.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct but compassionate, and progress is tracked with small, concrete steps. Her background blends counseling with pastoral experience, so spiritual concerns and values can be part of the conversation when clients want that. She often assists people who carry heavy responsibilities and feel drained by caretaking roles or leadership demands.
Methods include attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and relationship-focused work. These approaches are used to improve communication, manage strong emotions, and repair closeness when trust has been shaken. Therapy with Deidra-Ann tends to balance reflection and action.
People leave sessions with a clearer sense of goals and at least one practical thing to try before the next meeting. Her style aims to increase emotional strength and help clients make sustainable changes. She has 12 years of experience and conducts sessions in English for clients in Texas and beyond.
Online formats are available for those who prefer video, phone, chat, or messaging.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections; it helps people understand trust, closeness, and how they react when they feel threatened. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and centering the person's own goals, which can help clients clarify values and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on practical change and relationship repair.
