About Darryl

Dr. Darryl Mccarroll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. He draws on eight years of clinical practice and a long personal history that includes military service and small business ownership.

He aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns in straightforward, practical ways. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches to guide sessions. In practice this means focusing on emotions, listening closely, and helping people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

He also integrates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when they fit a person’s needs. Dr. Mccarroll has worked in a variety of settings, including nonprofits, hospitals, group homes, orphanages, and schools.

That variety informs how he tailors sessions for different life situations, from work stress to trauma recovery. He also brings experience with addictions, process-related concerns, and issues faced by veterans and first responders. People come to him for help with grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and mood struggles, and relationship communication problems.

He also addresses sexual assault and abuse, multicultural concerns, guilt and shame, and questions around life purpose. He offers practical tools and space to talk through painful experiences. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

International clients may be seen. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support

Emotion and Skills-Focused Care Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and make sense of strong feelings, then use those feelings to change patterns in relationships and personal life. It is useful for people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, relationship conflict, or deep emotional pain.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus more on emotions, skills, or thought patterns and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work across distance.
