About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, addiction, and life changes.

Her style suits people who are ready to reflect and grow.
She meets clients with straightforward listening and practical feedback. Sessions aim to create space to talk without needing to be the strong one for everyone.
How Deidra-Ann works
Deidra-Ann blends honest reflection with tools people can use between sessions. Her approach pulls from attachment work, client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused work, and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. That mix lets her address emotions, patterns, and day-to-day behaviors.
She helps people notice what gets in the way of connection and change. People often bring worries about communication, commitment, jealousy, infidelity, codependency, or blended family stress. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, eating concerns, anger, guilt, and shame.
The focus is on small, manageable steps toward better functioning. With 12 years of experience, Deidra-Ann works with clients across Texas and accepts international clients in English. Sessions are offered in several online formats to suit different needs.
Her counseling aims to help people gain clarity and move forward with intention.

Approaches for online healing and relationship work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people explore patterns that formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. It is useful for people who notice repeated relationship hurts or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and choices, offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with more effective behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, and coping day-to-day.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and what is happening in the client’s life. She adapts sessions over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give a way to connect between calls or when written reflection feels easier. These formats provide flexibility while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
