About Charles

Charles "Andrew" McCall is an LCSW who offers faith-informed psychotherapy and practical strategies for everyday struggles. He draws on eight years of clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Andrew speaks plainly and works collaboratively so clients feel involved in decisions about care.

He uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and building small, actionable skills that fit daily life. He also brings perspective from faith when clients want that included in their work together. Andrew adapts his approach to match each person’s goals.

He aims for clear communication and balances empathy with honest feedback. He may share relevant life experiences when it helps move the conversation forward. His broader interests include family problems, fatherhood issues, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and codependency, and difficulties with commitment or control.

He also addresses eating and body image struggles, emptiness, and forgiveness work. Sessions are offered in English and take place in Texas. Licensing details include TX LCSW 53008 and AZ LCSW LCSW-22312.

Andrew describes therapy as a team effort and encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

Practical approaches for online therapy and daily life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small steps toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve coping. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring a person’s own reasons for moving forward and strengthening motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits real life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to connect from home or on the go. These formats allow flexible scheduling and different ways to communicate when in-person visits are not practical. The goal is to make therapy workable around daily responsibilities while using evidence-informed methods to address stress, parenting concerns, anxiety, and related issues.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
