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 dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, parenting pressures, grief, trauma, and related concerns. Many clients she sees carry leadership roles at home or work and come when they feel overloaded or stretched thin.
She takes a straightforward, reflective approach. Sessions focus on honest conversation, practical steps, and learning ways to manage strong emotions. The therapist listens for patterns from early relationships that affect current reactions and helps clients notice what keeps repeating.
Deidra-Ann uses methods from attachment approaches, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas and principles from the Gottman method when addressing relationship stress. Sessions aim to increase clarity and skills rather than only explore feelings.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, problem solving, and skill practice. The work often involves identifying communication patterns, setting boundaries, and addressing family of origin issues or blended family stresses. Progress is measured by clearer thinking and steadier responses to everyday strains.
She accepts clients from inside and outside the United States. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online sessions
Deidra-Ann uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape reactions today. That approach helps when grief, family of origin issues, or commitment concerns cause repeating patterns in adult relationships.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on the client’s experience and goals. This means sessions often begin by asking what matters most right now and working from the client’s priorities.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Practical exercises and homework may be assigned to test new ways of thinking between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made.
The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, or other commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed and reduce travel time so therapy can be scheduled between daily tasks.
