About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese, LPC, helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens for what matters most so clients can begin to feel steadier.
Background and approach
Many who seek her out also struggle with grief, addiction, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, or questions about self-esteem and identity. She creates a calm space where clients do not have to carry everything alone.
Sessions combine straightforward talk with practical steps. She draws on approaches like the Gottman Method and attachment-based work to explore how relationships and past patterns shape current struggles.
Deidra-Ann brings 12 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Texas. Her background includes work with people facing trauma, family problems, and complicated emotions such as guilt, shame, and emptiness.
She often helps clients untangle communication problems, commitment concerns, and co-occurring issues like ADHD or bipolar mood challenges. Her style is direct but warm.
She balances honest reflection with tools you can use between sessions. Expect clear feedback, guided conversation, and practical exercises to build emotional coping and healthier patterns.
She works with clients across a broad range of concerns, including blended family issues, infidelity, forgiveness, and career stress. Sessions address both immediate coping and longer-term patterns so people can make thoughtful changes and feel more capable in daily life.
How therapy approaches come alive online
Deidra-Ann uses the Gottman Method to look at how everyday interactions and communication patterns affect relationships. This approach focuses on building better listening and conflict habits so people can repair connection and reduce recurring fights.She also works from an attachment-based perspective, which looks at how early bonds shape emotional reactions and closeness today. That work can help with anxiety, intimacy issues, and repeating relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and check what helps most. Plans are adjusted over time so the work matches the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and brief exercises convenient between longer sessions. Together these options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
