About Darryl
Dr. Darryl Mccarroll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, and social anxiety and phobia. He also provides coaching around life purpose and communication problems.
In sessions he uses clear, direct methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral methods. He pairs those with approaches that focus on emotions and trauma processing. That can look like talking through difficult memories, practicing new ways to manage anxious thoughts, or building skills for handling strong emotions.
He brings a background that includes military service and running small businesses, plus time in nonprofit and clinical settings. That mix informs how he relates practical life stressors to mental health concerns. He has worked with people affected by sexual trauma, human trafficking, and serious substance issues.
Dr. Mccarroll holds a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) from Walden University, a Master of Social Work (MSW), and earlier degrees in public relations and a master of management. He identifies as an Army veteran and has experience facilitating groups and counseling individuals and couples.
When someone reaches out he aims to match approach to need. Sessions may include skill practice, structured exercises, and discussion about patterns that keep problems going. People who struggle with social situations, being watched, speaking up, or meeting new people may find focused support for those specific challenges.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach often involve open conversation, reflective feedback, and practical steps the client chooses to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In virtual sessions CBT can include structured exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to practice outside sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and personal wellbeing. Online EFT sessions can guide naming emotions, tracking patterns, and rehearsing new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods to emphasize. Sessions can shift over time as needs change and as specific problems - like social anxiety and phobia or trauma symptoms - are addressed in different ways.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier around daily life and may reduce travel time. It also allows sessions to be shorter check-ins when that fits a person’s routine, or more structured meetings when deeper work is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to fit home, work, or other daily contexts so therapy is practical and fits into a person’s week.
