About Charles
Charles "Andrew" McCall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are informed by a Christian perspective when clients prefer faith-based care and by evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment approaches.
He works with adults who are dealing with everyday pressures at home and the strain of parenting. He talks through thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors in plain language. He uses practical tools to help people manage symptoms and make small, sustainable changes.
Andrew often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and then act in ways that reflect their priorities. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change and to strengthen personal motivation.
Sessions are collaborative. He explains ideas clearly and may share relevant life experience when it helps the conversation. The focus is on realistic steps that fit into a client's life rather than on long lists of techniques.
Background includes work with issues tied to family roles and fatherhood, attachment concerns, codependency, communication struggles, and adjustment after separation. He also addresses aging and geriatric matters, body image and eating-related issues, and forgiveness work. People looking for faith-informed psychotherapy will find that the Christian worldview can be included as part of clinical discussions when desired.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Online sessions using ACT can support clients who want to clarify values and take practical steps that matter in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to break cycles. Delivered online, CBT often involves short exercises and homework that fit between sessions to track progress on stress, anxiety, or mood problems.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps someone find their own reasons to change. It is useful when a person feels unsure about making a change and needs help building confidence and commitment.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them keep therapy consistent alongside parenting, work, and daily responsibilities.
