About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, and life changes. She also supports concerns like intimacy, self-esteem, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and eating issues.
Deidra-Ann often meets people who carry heavy responsibilities at work or in community roles. She focuses on helping them talk through boundaries, emotional overload, and unresolved grief. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at helping clients gain clearer perspective on their choices.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. She uses these to name emotions, clarify relationship patterns, and work on attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing inform practical tools for coping and behavior change.
Sessions mix reflective discussion and concrete strategies. She encourages honest self-reflection and offers steady guidance so clients can practice different ways of responding. The work may include looking at family of origin issues, communication patterns, or commitment and codependency concerns.
Deidra-Ann also integrates faith and pastoral experience when clients raise spiritual questions. People who want straightforward feedback and practical steps tend to appreciate this style. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Deidra-Ann lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based Therapy among her main approaches. EFT centers on identifying and naming emotions and on changing patterns that keep people stuck. It can be helpful for relationship patterns and attachment concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current ways of relating and helps people recognize and shift those patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace while following the person’s goals. Choosing the best approach is collaborative; she will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing one path up front.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face conversation while phone visits can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, simpler check-in is needed. A therapist will discuss which option suits the client’s practical circumstances and goals.
