About Malia
LCSW Malia Holbeck practices in South Dakota and has 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Malia uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Malia emphasizes that each person knows their own story and strengths. She listens for what is already working and helps people build on those resources. Sessions include straightforward conversation and practical steps people can try between meetings.
When someone brings concerns about addiction, work strain, or mood, she helps break problems into manageable pieces. For career or workplace issues she looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that affect decisions and relationships. For addiction and smoking or vaping cessation she uses motivational strategies to support readiness for change.
Malia also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability by focusing on coping skills and realistic goals. Seasonal Affective Disorder, money stress, and low self-regard are addressed through short-term, goal-focused work and cognitive tools. The emphasis is on clear, usable strategies rather than long lectures.
She invites people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How Malia uses evidence-based approaches in remote care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people clarify their own goals, which can be useful for stress, decision-making, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, workplace issues, and managing SAD.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for brief check-ins when time is limited and let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage.
