About Darryl

Dr. Darryl Mccarroll is a licensed clinical social worker who uses hypnotherapy alongside talk-based methods to help people facing anxiety, stress, addiction, and trauma. He brings eight years of clinical practice and a background that includes military service and work in diverse care settings.

His approach aims to help people feel more grounded and regain control over daily life. He combines client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck.

Background and approach

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Hypnotherapy is offered as one of several tools to help people access focused states for behavior change and symptom relief. His past roles include work in nonprofits, hospitals, group homes, orphanages, and schools, which shaped a flexible way of meeting different needs.

He also has experience supporting people impacted by sexual trauma, human trafficking, and substance misuse. That background informs careful pacing and trauma-aware methods in sessions. Dr.

Mccarroll holds a Doctor of Social Work from Walden University and a Master of Social Work completed in 2018, and he is licensed as an LCSW in North Carolina. He draws on training in EMDR and trauma care while tailoring therapy to each person’s situation. In sessions he focuses on clear goals, concrete skills, and steady progress.

People can expect a respectful, direct style that balances listening with practical steps for change. He works with clients in English and welcomes those who prefer remote care from other regions.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Dr. Mccarroll often pairs hypnotherapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people make practical changes. Hypnotherapy involves guided focus and suggestion to support behavior change and symptom relief, which some people find useful for cravings, habits, or anxiety symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration to help people feel heard and to clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can combine techniques and evolve over time so the plan matches what helps most in practice.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or do shorter check-ins during busy days.
