Emily McCall, LMHC

Emily McCall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience counseling primarily adults in Indiana. She approaches therapy from a stance of unconditional positive regard, ensuring her interactions remain nonjudgmental and free of shame while offering sincere, engaging, and supportive guidance to help clients move toward a healthier, more satisfying life.

Her clinical work includes supporting people facing depression, grief, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, relationship difficulties, sexual and domestic abuse, shame-based family of origin issues, co-dependency, and addictions. She blends Adlerian ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques to examine how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact - both in ways that can maintain dysfunctional patterns and in ways that can be changed to promote more adaptive living.

In addition to conversational therapy, she uses didactic material, experiential exercises, and simple parables to clarify concepts and encourage insight. Assigning practical homework between sessions is a regular part of her approach to keep clients actively engaged in their progress. If clients choose to work with her, she and each client collaborate on a treatment plan based on the client’s goals, and she commits to supporting them through each step of the process. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and honors that decision.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Emily McCall uses several practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients navigate challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client’s goals and values guide the work - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding and addressing relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers structured tools to change unhelpful patterns - CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own motivation to change, making it especially useful for addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow consistent access to support even when in-person visits are not feasible.
