Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese, LPC

Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and life changes. She works with clients who carry heavy responsibilities and feel worn down by emotional overload or unresolved losses. She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and doable for people under pressure.

Her style blends practical problem-solving with calm, steady support. She encourages honest reflection and helps clients clarify their priorities. Sessions focus on habits, thoughts, and small steps people can use between meetings to feel more in control.

Deidra-Ann draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to deepen understanding of relationship patterns and emotional needs. Those methods help when trust, intimacy, or communication are causing pain.

In the room she listens without rushing and offers straightforward feedback. She helps people set clear goals and track progress in ways that fit everyday life. Practical tools and steady encouragement are part of how she works.

She has 12 years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Texas. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts clients who live outside the United States. To start, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match each person to an appointment rhythm that fits their life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Deidra-Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain stress or anxiety. CBT provides clear exercises and short experiments people can do between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also uses attachment-based work to explore patterns in close relationships. That approach helps people understand how early relationship experiences shape current needs, trust, and communication, which can improve intimacy and reduce repeated conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through your goals and preferences, then try methods that match your situation. Sessions are collaborative so adjustments can be made as needed to better fit how you learn and change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text is useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or days when a shorter connection fits your schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
