Emily McCall , LMHC

Emily McCall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 29 years of experience working primarily with adults in Indiana. She practices unconditional positive regard - approaching each person without judgment or shame and offering sincere, engaging, and supportive guidance as they pursue personal growth. Her clinical background encompasses treatment for depression, grief, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, sexual and domestic abuse, shame-based family of origin issues, co-dependency, and addictions.

Emily combines Adlerian ideas with cognitive behavioral strategies to explore how thinking, feeling, and behaving interact to shape daily life. That blend helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and learn practical, evidence-informed ways to shift toward healthier functioning. Therapy often includes talk-based exploration along with didactic teaching, experiential exercises, and illustrative parables to deepen insight. She frequently recommends between-session exercises - or "homework" - to help clients practice new skills and maintain momentum outside of sessions.

In collaboration with each person she serves, Emily develops a focused treatment plan built around the client’s goals. She emphasizes encouragement, steady support, and a practical orientation to change, acknowledging the courage it takes to seek help and walking alongside clients throughout their therapeutic work.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Emily draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience and priorities shape the work - this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and navigating life transitions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT is often effective for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and reactions. Motivational interviewing is used when ambivalence about change is present - it helps people explore their own reasons for change and build internal motivation, which can be especially useful in addressing addictions and treatment engagement.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The relationship and client’s input guide those decisions.

Online therapy with Emily is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals and therapists from different settings while working toward practical, meaningful change.
