About Emily
Emily McCall is an Indiana LMHC with 29 years of clinical experience working primarily with adults. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to shame and guilt. Emily focuses on practical work in sessions and on steps clients can use between appointments.
She uses a blend of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. That means she listens without judgment and points out how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. She often assigns simple homework to help people practice new ways of thinking and acting outside the session.
In sessions she mixes talking with short teaching moments and occasional exercises or parables to clarify ideas. The style is straightforward: identify goals, try specific techniques, and check what works. This approach is offered for issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, panic and obsessive patterns, and struggles with substance use.
Emily also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, infidelity, isolation, aging-related concerns, and veteran-related matters. Her work includes attention to both emotional experience and concrete coping skills. She collaborates with each person to build a treatment plan based on their goals.
Sessions are aimed at adults seeking practical ways to reduce the burden of guilt or shame and to manage life changes. People who prefer clear explanations and homework-based practice may find her approach helpful when deciding on next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Emily uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name their own goals. This approach is useful for shame or guilt because it centers the client's perspective and pace.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, panic, obsessive thinking, and addiction-related habits. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels difficult; it helps people weigh pros and cons and find internal motivation to try new steps.
Finding the best mix of methods is collaborative. Emily works with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means sessions can include discussion, short exercises, and homework to practice skills between meetings.
