About Darryl
Dr. Darryl Mccarroll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, grief, trauma and anger.
He draws on a mix of talk-based methods to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild routines. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and strategies to reduce repeated conflict. He also addresses issues that often sit behind anger, like shame, guilt, or past abuse.
His background includes work in hospitals, nonprofit settings, group homes, orphanages, and schools. He brings experience from both military service and running small businesses, which informs how he approaches problems like first-responder stress or challenges faced by veterans.
In session he combines client-centered conversation with behavioral tools. He uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns, DBT skills to manage intense feelings, and EMDR approaches when trauma processing is appropriate. He also has experience with hypnotherapy and relationship-focused work.
Clients who choose him often want straightforward practices they can use day to day. He aims to help people improve communication, reduce outbursts, and rebuild trust in relationships. To start, he asks about priorities and then works with the person to set concrete goals.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says so goals and priorities become clear. It helps when someone wants straightforward feedback and room to explain how anger shows up in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT sessions often include tracking patterns, practicing short behavioral experiments, and learning skills to interrupt automatic reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those tools can be practiced in session and rehearsed between meetings to reduce intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, short-term goals, and preferred ways of working, then try methods that fit those goals. That choice can be revisited as work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in the situations where anger tends to arise. Licensed professionals use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic techniques as in person while adapting exercises and homework to an online setting.
