01About Ritchie
Ritchie McCall helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She is Ritchie McCall, MD, LCPC, and has 15 years of clinical experience in Maryland. She keeps language simple and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier.

Background and approach
Ritchie listens for what matters most to each person. She helps clients set small, clear goals and break problems into manageable steps. Conversations often include looking at thoughts that get in the way and experimenting with different behaviors.
She also pays attention to relationship patterns like attachment and abandonment concerns, and to situations such as caregiver stress, divorce, or major life shifts. Work can cover guilt, shame, loneliness, and rebuilding a sense of purpose. People who want straightforward guidance and a steady, practical partner usually do well in her sessions.
She offers a calm, focused style and supports gradual progress toward goals.

04Online support
ACT and CBT online for practical change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with loss or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with stress, negative thinking, and symptoms of depression and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That process usually starts with simple experiments and then adjusts based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options can help fit therapy into a busy schedule and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
