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, relationship strain, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and struggles with parenting, intimacy, or self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges linked to family and attachment.
She often meets people who carry leadership roles at home, work, or ministry and feel the pressure of staying strong for others while managing personal strain. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, setting boundaries, and making practical changes that reduce overload. Conversations are direct and goal-focused so people can try new habits between sessions.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-based and client-centered methods. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections.
Deidra-Ann also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed, and she uses motivational interviewing techniques to address readiness for change in areas like addiction or behavior shifts. She aims to combine reflection with clear, doable steps.
People who choose her tend to want practical, structured help that fits real life. Sessions focus on clarity, manageable goals, and skills people can use right away. She offers services in English and accepts international clients, and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Deidra-Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. CBT sessions tend to be structured and task-focused, which can make them straightforward to do in remote appointments.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. Attachment work is conversational and reflective, helping people notice long-standing patterns in relationships and try different ways of relating.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, attachment work, or a client-centered check-in will best match the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as goals shift.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking since the biography does not list exact options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people join from different locations when that helps maintain continuity of care.
