About Darryl
Dr. Darryl Mccarroll is an LCSW practicing in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses self-esteem and coaching needs.
Dr. Mccarroll emphasizes Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of his approaches and uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to each person.

That range informs how he talks about stress, first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and multicultural challenges. He has experience with sexual assault and human trafficking issues and with process and substance addictions.
Clients often bring communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, life-purpose questions, or relationship difficulties including polyamory and non-monogamous dynamics. He also works with personality disorder concerns and intimacy or sexual-related issues. Dr. Mccarroll notes work on forgiveness, self-love, and social anxiety as part of his practice.

How EFT and related approaches work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and attachment patterns that shape relationships and personal behavior. It helps people notice interaction cycles and try new ways of connecting or responding when emotions run high.Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person's perspective. The therapist follows what the client brings to each meeting and supports clearer self-understanding and decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful thinking and practice different responses.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can happen around work or caregiving. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and offer options if in-person visits are difficult. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Sessions aim to bring therapeutic work into daily life in practical ways.
