Debra helped me immensely through a really difficult time in my life. I was able to tell her things I have never told anyone because I was too ashamed, and she led me to healing and forgiveness I thought I would never be able to give. I would highly recommend her to someone looking for a therapist.

Hello! Navigating through life's challenges, at times, can be difficult. Finding a counselor where there is a "good fit" can be just as challenging, but this fit is essential to make the necessary progress in conquering life's challenges. Here is some information about me that will help you get to know me: My name is Debra McCall, and I have been a licensed certified social worker for over 25 years and have experience providing multicultural counseling to adults and from diverse backgrounds. I am skilled at helping persons work through family conflicts, depression, trauma and abuse , post-traumatic stress, domestic violence and motivational challenges. I utilize solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavior strategies, motivational techniques, , and trauma-focused interventions.
My clients have reported that I am caring, empathetic, honest, empowering, and nonjudgmental. I treat all persons with dignity and respect. The relationship I have with clients is very important I see my role in this professional relationship as one of a partnership to help you meet goals, to help you discover more about your inner strength, and how to utilize this strength to face and overcome challenges and difficulties. Empowering others is one of my best professional attributes. I believe every individual has the capacity to manage difficulties rather than allow the difficulties to manage you.
Your comfort level is very important to me as it relates to sessions. Therefore, whatever manner you are most comfortable with is how we will proceed: video sessions or phone calls or perhaps text. During the week, I am available in the evenings , and weekends are flexible. I also check emails frequently and will respond within the same 24 hour period.
Based on what you have read, if you feel we can develop a partnership to manage issues and challenges, make those steps towards a fulfilling life, please feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to taking the step with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
