Deidra-Ann Leiba MaseseLPC

Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, grief, and life transitions. She works with people who carry heavy responsibilities and feel worn down by having to be strong for others. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first meeting.

She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, usable steps. Sessions often involve naming what feels most urgent, looking at how past attachments shape current relationships, and practicing simple skills to manage strong emotions. Deidra-Ann blends reflection with concrete tools so clients can try small changes between sessions.

Her background combines long experience in counseling with pastoral work, which shapes how she talks about values, meaning, and purpose. That mix helps clients sort personal goals from pressures placed on them by roles at work, home, or community.

Deidra-Ann draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, and elements of the Gottman method. She tailors those approaches to each person's needs instead of using a single fixed method.

With 12 years in practice in Texas, she aims to help people build clearer boundaries, handle grief, repair relationships, and manage anxiety so they can move forward with more confidence and balance.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns continue to affect emotions and closeness in adult life; online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping a person find their own solutions; this approach supports gentle exploration of values, goals, and struggles in conversation. Cognitive behavioral techniques break big problems into small experiments and skill-building tasks that clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful thinking.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which remote or in-person options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow a quicker check-in during a break, and let people use tools like worksheets or brief behavioral tasks between meetings. Licensed professionals use the online setting to keep therapy focused, goal-oriented, and adaptable to everyday life.
