About Ritchie
LCPC (Maryland) with 15 years of experience, Ritchie McCall helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, and life changes. She centers sessions on practical steps and the client’s own experience. Ritchie views clients as experts on their lives and focuses on strengths they already have.
Ritchie uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She works with people on coping skills, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and choosing actions that match their values. Sessions involve direct conversation and concrete exercises rather than abstract theory.
She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, control struggles, and recovery from relationship endings. Ritchie helps people unpack guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose or midlife transition.
In trauma work she approaches symptoms like post-traumatic stress and the aftermath of abuse by focusing on present coping and manageable behavioral steps. For those affected by narcissistic dynamics she helps people set boundaries and clarify personal priorities.
Ritchie practices in Maryland and conducts work in English. Her style is collaborative and straightforward: she helps people notice patterns, try specific skills, and track what works. To begin, clients use the site process to select an online therapy option and schedule a first session.

How ACT and CBT shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that reflect personal values while accepting difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and skill practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This process is a back-and-forth where both therapist and client evaluate progress and pick strategies that fit the client’s concerns and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use different communication styles over time, for example focusing on discussion one week and on in-session exercises the next, which can help apply ACT and CBT techniques to everyday life.
