About Ritchie
Ritchie McCall is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Maryland with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Ritchie uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns that get in the way and try new ways of responding.
She works in a practical, task-oriented way. Sessions often look at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments people can try between meetings. Ritchie also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take steps that reflect those values.
Ritchie helps people who are dealing with relationship pain such as abandonment and attachment issues, and with the fallout from separation or divorce. She also supports those managing caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and difficulties with communication and control.
In session she breaks challenges into concrete parts. That can mean learning thought records, testing assumptions, or practising short behavioral changes. She explains techniques in plain language and sets clear, practical homework when it can help.
People commonly bring concerns about life purpose, midlife transitions, narcissistic patterns in others, or post-traumatic stress. Ritchie offers steady, methodical work on those topics, focusing on manageable steps and measurable progress. If someone is unsure how to begin, she asks a few questions to build a simple plan and then checks what actually helps.
How CBT and ACT are used in online sessions
Ritchie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts and test them with small experiments. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that target thinking and behavior patterns common in anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and practice actions that match those values, even when unwanted feelings are present. ACT tends to be useful for decision points and for managing distress that comes with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ritchie treats finding a fit as a collaborative task. She will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what the client reports is working. Clients and therapist check progress and change strategies when needed.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around a job or caregiving responsibilities and can reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when that is helpful and choose quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed.
