02 · In Charles's own words

What Charles says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hi! My name is Andrew McCall. As an LCSW, I have expertise in providing faith-based psychotherapy. I help my clients gain a clinically sound perspective on issues, while looking at experiences, thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors primarily from a Christian worldview. I commonly utilize cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and interpersonal therapeutic interventions with clients. I like to think of my communication approach with clients as being both empathetic and assertive. I like to create a safe environment for the person I am meeting with, while making the therapy journey a collaborative one. I don't mind sharing life experiences when appropriate to help clients navigate their own difficult circumstances. My passion for this work stems from my own experiences as both a client and a therapist. I have seen the transformative power of therapy in helping people rediscover hope, realize their potential, and rekindle excitement for their future. I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and fulfillment, guided by faith and evidence-based practices. Therapy is a collaborative venture and I want you to feel like we are a team. Taking steps to pursue therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

03 · How Charles works

The 3 approaches Charles lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Charles lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Charles's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Charles runs a session.

Acceptance and Commitment TherapyACT

Rather than trying to argue a painful thought away, ACT works on loosening its grip and getting on with what matters to you anyway. Sessions spend real time naming your values, then building action around them while difficult feelings are still present.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Charles practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Charles's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Charles at this point.

2. Naming Charles specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Charles is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Charles.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Charles's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Charles. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
