About Deidra-Ann
Deidra-Ann Leiba Masese, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, addictions, and major life changes. She works with individuals who carry heavy responsibilities and need practical strategies to feel steadier and more in control. Her style blends direct listening with compassionate guidance so people can make meaningful changes without feeling judged.
She commonly supports concerns around intimacy, parenting struggles, career pressure, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and issues tied to family of origin. Additional focuses include attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and the emotional fallout of separation or blended family life.
In sessions she mixes Motivational Interviewing with client-centered conversation and evidence-informed techniques from cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused approaches. This means she asks about what matters to the client, helps identify small workable steps, and addresses patterns of feeling and interaction that keep problems stuck.
Deidra-Ann draws on 12 years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. She also brings perspective from pastoral work and often helps people reconcile personal values with the realities of daily life.
People who meet with her can expect straightforward feedback, time to reflect, and tools to practice between sessions. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Deidra-Ann uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That approach focuses on listening, asking clear questions, and guiding clients to set goals that feel doable. Attachment-Based Therapy is also central; it looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect trust and closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. Sessions often combine conversational, practical, and skills-based elements so the plan matches real life needs.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video when they want face-to-face contact or opt for an audio session for a quieter, less bandwidth-intensive conversation. Licensed professionals tailor the approach and scheduling to help therapy fit into daily responsibilities rather than adding extra burden. -
