About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people who feel responsible for others and are struggling under that weight. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and codependency.
She often sees clients who lead at work, home, or in ministry and who present as capable while feeling emotionally overloaded inside. Sessions focus on naming what is happening, setting clearer boundaries, and learning practical ways to manage intense feelings. Conversations are direct and grounded in everyday life needs rather than abstract theory.
Her style draws on attachment-based ideas along with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools. That means attention to past relationship patterns, steady listening to the present experience, and concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused work and Gottman-informed ideas are used when relationship patterns are central to the difficulty.
Clients can expect a mix of reflection and practical tasks that they can use between sessions. Deidra-Ann also integrates straightforward discussions about faith when that is important to the person she is seeing. She aims to help people gain clarity, rebuild emotional stamina, and take steps toward clearer boundaries and more honest relationships.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they shape current reactions. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and the client's own goals. In virtual sessions this looks like careful reflection, questions that clarify what matters most, and space to set goals you can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to change thinking and behavior. Together with homework tasks, CBT-style work can be done over video or phone and offers practical steps for managing anxiety, codependency-related thoughts, or mood shifts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow focused check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. They also let people work through relational patterns and practice new skills in real life between meetings.
