About Charles
Charles "Andrew" McCall is an LCSW with eight years of clinical experience based in Texas. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and are informed by a perspective that includes clients' values and beliefs.
Andrew uses practical, evidence-linked methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different ways of responding. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are weighing change or feeling stuck.
He often looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact during real moments that cause distress. That means sessions typically focus on small, concrete steps - testing new actions, practicing responses to anxiety, and checking what worked between meetings. He may share personal experiences when it seems helpful and keeps the conversation direct and respectful.
Charles values collaboration. He invites clients to set goals and to review progress together. That may include working through specific issues such as attachment concerns, avoidance, body image, codependency, or parenting challenges.
He notes additional focus areas including aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, fatherhood matters, and forgiveness.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about parenting or relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often chosen for stress, anxiety, low mood, and body image concerns.
Motivational Interviewing focuses on conversations that strengthen a person’s own motivation to change. It supports people who feel uncertain or stuck when facing decisions like relationship steps or behavior changes.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean trying an ACT exercise one week and a CBT skill the next, then reviewing what helped.
