About Emily
Emily McCall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 29 years of experience working with adults. She focuses on common problems that linger into adult life, including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, ADHD, and family of origin issues. Her approach aims to reduce shame and blame while helping people find practical ways to change patterns that no longer serve them.
McCall uses conversational therapy alongside practical exercises. She draws on client-centered ideas to listen without judgment and on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change.
Sessions often include discussion plus short assignments to try between meetings. That work is meant to help people test new ways of coping and notice small shifts in day-to-day life. She sometimes shares stories or simple experiential tasks to make ideas clearer.
Her experience includes working with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and addiction-related problems. McCall also lists aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, and family of origin concerns among her focus areas. She practices in Indiana and conducts therapy in English.
When starting, she and the client make a treatment plan based on concrete goals. The plan lays out what to try and how progress will be checked. People are encouraged to be active participants, bringing real situations from their lives into sessions for practical work.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist encourages people to describe how family roles and expectations still affect them and reflects back what she hears to help clarify feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns tied to family of origin issues and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find personal reasons to change. It is often used to support people with addictions or stuck patterns by exploring their goals and ambivalence in a respectful way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to use based on their goals, current struggles, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and as small steps reveal what is helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking. The benefits people commonly report from online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, easier access when travel is difficult, and being able to use shorter check-ins when needed. Sessions can also include homework and experiential tasks that translate into everyday life.
