About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese, LPC, focuses on helping people who feel worn down by responsibility and relational strain. She works with clients struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting concerns, and intimacy or communication problems. Her plain goal is to give a steady, respectful space where people can stop holding everything together and begin to sort things out.
She often meets people who lead at work, at home, or in ministry and who feel the weight of being the strong one.
Background and approach
Sessions address boundaries, emotional overload, unresolved grief, and the push-pull of relationships. The work aims to help clients find clearer priorities and more manageable ways to cope day to day. Deidra-Ann combines thoughtful reflection with practical tools.
She listens for patterns coming from attachment history and current relationship dynamics. Then she helps clients try small changes in how they think and act so they can test what works for them. Her methods draw on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral skills, emotionally focused strategies, and the Gottman Method for relationship moments.
These approaches are used to understand emotions, improve communication, and address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. With 12 years of experience and an LPC credential in Texas, she brings steady support and direct feedback. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Deidra-Ann aims to help people build clearer boundaries, recover from loss, and reconnect with what matters.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people notice attachment needs and practice new ways of reaching out or setting boundaries in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves short exercises or experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily functioning.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits the person's life and pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy people. Video calls let clients hold face-to-face conversations when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions or live chat can fit into a short break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
