Charles "Andrew" McCall

Charles "Andrew" McCall is an LCSW who blends practical therapy with a Christian perspective. He centers conversations on clients' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and draws on faith when it fits the person's values. Andrew uses clear, direct communication and aims to make therapy a team effort from the start.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to unpack unhelpful thinking and find workable changes. Motivational Interviewing shows up in sessions when people want help finding their own reasons to change. These methods are used to address stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and coping with life transitions.

Andrew also supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and relationship patterns, body image and eating issues, codependency, and struggles with commitment or control. He works with issues tied to fatherhood, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. Sessions focus on clear skills and honest conversation that connect to a client's values and faith when desired.

Andrew has eight years of clinical experience in social work practice. He often shares appropriate personal experience to normalize hard moments and encourage hope. He describes his style as both empathetic and assertive, aiming to hold people accountable while offering steady support.

To begin, he asks people to treat therapy as collaborative work. He helps clients set realistic goals and track small steps forward. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still leaving room for reflection and meaning-making.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns that fuel stress and low mood, and it teaches practical tools for everyday challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports someone in finding their own motivation for change and is useful when people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to see which methods match a client's goals, needs, and personal beliefs. Sessions may shift over time as priorities change, and the client helps guide that choice.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what online options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work on skills between meetings and keeps momentum when life feels hectic.
