About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese, LPC offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, anger, and other life shifts. She works with clients who carry heavy responsibilities and want practical help to feel steadier and more connected. She meets people where they are and listens first.
Sessions focus on understanding what is causing the strain and finding concrete steps to reduce overwhelm. Deidra-Ann combines clear reflection with steady encouragement so clients can try new ways of coping and communicating.
Background and approach
Her background blends clinical practice with pastoral experience. That means she often brings both emotional care and practical problem-solving into sessions. She uses familiar, experience-based methods rather than technical jargon.
Deidra-Ann draws on approaches such as attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful habits. She also uses client-centered listening to make sure each person’s needs guide the work. Clients can expect a calm presence that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
The focus is on real-life progress: better boundaries, clearer communication, reduced reactivity, and steadier mood. She holds a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor credential and has practiced for 12 years. Sessions are available in English and can be scheduled from Texas.
Deidra-Ann accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connection patterns show up in relationships now. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns, name their needs, and practice new ways of relating with guidance from the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In video or phone sessions a therapist can teach simple CBT skills, set doable homework, and review progress together. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That might mean blending attachment ideas with CBT techniques, or focusing first on coping skills before tackling deeper relationship patterns. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and practice new communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or getting brief coaching between sessions. These options create flexibility so therapy can happen around work, family, and other responsibilities.Questions people ask about Deidra-Ann
