Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese , LPC

Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is an LPC who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. She often works with people facing addictions, intimacy or eating concerns, ADHD and bipolar challenges, and those dealing with family and attachment issues. She sees people from the LGBT community and supports those coping with trauma, abuse, or major transitions.

Her style is down-to-earth and direct. She offers a respectful space where clients do not have to hold everything together. Conversations are honest and focused on practical steps that can ease daily strain. Sessions aim to build clarity and emotional strength.

She blends client-centered ways of listening with practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work. That mix helps identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating. Emotionally-focused ideas and elements of the Gottman Method guide work on intimacy and communication when relationships are central to the concern.

Deidra-Ann brings 12 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Texas. She describes her role as both steady and encouraging, offering real-world insight alongside reflection. People who carry leadership roles or heavy responsibilities often come to process boundaries, overwhelm, and grief.

Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. Therapy is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for busy schedules.

Using Attachment and Cognitive Tools Online

Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns. It looks at where someone feels safe or disconnected and helps create new ways to connect and regulate emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, often called CBT, examines thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical experiments to change them. Emotionally-focused ideas help map strong feelings in relationships and guide repairs when bonds are strained.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress unfolds and new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and relationship work. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited. Text or live chat can suit short updates or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it possible to maintain continuity and adjust the format as life changes.
