About Desiree

Desiree Malam is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and the complexities of grief and loss. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to support clients through life transitions and emotional recovery, aiming to create a respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Desiree prioritizes collaborative work with individuals and couples, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs while offering practical tools for coping and growth. Her practice emphasizes clear communication, emotional safety, and skill-building so clients can manage symptoms, repair relationships, and move toward meaningful change.

She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms the importance of that first step for anyone seeking support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then learns practical strategies to change thinking and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing emotional impact and promote healing. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that strengthens motivation and commitment to change by exploring personal values and ambivalence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Desiree works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options, adjust techniques as progress unfolds, and prioritize strategies that feel useful and realistic for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, schedule sessions more easily, and continue care when in-person meetings are difficult. This range of options supports consistent progress and makes therapy more accessible to different lifestyles and circumstances.
