About Charles
Charles "Andrew" McCall is an LCSW based in Texas who blends values-informed perspectives with practical therapies. He uses clear conversation and concrete tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Parents reading this will find straightforward guidance aimed at everyday challenges.
Andrew draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, doable steps toward what matters.
Background and approach
He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels stalled. Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical strategies rather than lengthy theory. His style is empathetic and direct.
He often shares relevant personal experiences when it helps a person make progress. This is paired with exercises and check-ins to track what works between meetings. Andrew describes his approach as faith-informed, meaning he considers a client's spiritual perspective when it matters to them.
He aims to respect each person’s values while using evidence-based tools. Parents concerned about fatherhood issues, family problems, or parenting stress can expect structured suggestions and problem-solving tailored to daily life. With eight years of clinical work, he focuses on helping people regain hope and move toward practical goals.
People who choose him collaborate on a plan that fits their situation and priorities.

Approaches that fit online therapy and parenting needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on actions tied to their values. It can help a parent decide what kind of caregiver they want to be and take small steps toward that goal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that affect daily parenting tasks. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring a person's own reasons for wanting different habits or routines, useful when motivation feels stuck.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose or mix methods that match the situation and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are available for brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around parenting responsibilities and daily life.
