Emily McCall , LMHC

Emily McCall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 29 years of experience working primarily with adults. She emphasizes an attitude of unconditional positive regard - offering a nonjudgmental, sincere, and encouraging presence while supporting people through difficult life circumstances.

Her clinical work addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, grief, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, relationship difficulties, sexual and domestic abuse, shame-based family of origin issues, codependency, and addictions. She also works with challenges related to parenting, intimacy, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and other mood and anxiety-related problems.

Therapeutically, Emily blends cognitive behavioral techniques with Adlerian ideas to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and how changes in one area can produce healthier patterns across life. She supplements talk therapy with didactic teaching, experiential exercises, stories and parables, and collaborative between-session work - or "homework" - to help clients practice new skills outside the therapy hour.

Emily approaches treatment planning collaboratively, shaping goals and interventions around each person’s priorities and strengths while offering steady professional support through the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Emily uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting atmosphere where a person's own goals and values guide the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building on the client’s strengths to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be especially helpful when addressing addictions or behavior change.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
