Dr. Mclain is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and speaks English. He takes a straightforward, collaborative approach in sessions.
He listens first and asks questions to clarify what matters most. Then he and the person work together to set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on workable steps rather than theory-heavy talk. Dr. Mclain uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.
He also draws on Client-Centered methods to make people feel understood, and Motivational Interviewing to help with change when motivation is mixed. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs his work when past harm affects current life. With three years of documented experience in the LPC role, he brings a practical orientation to therapy.
He encourages simple homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions. Parents will find clear suggestions they can try right away. Sessions are offered in several online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Dr. Mclain uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. He works from Texas and conducts therapy in English.

04Online support
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a trusting relationship. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for issues like self-esteem and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches specific skills for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on the issue, goals, and what feels comfortable. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and hands-on skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or have shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep momentum between sessions.
