Background and approach

These tools are used to address trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, and process addictions among other issues. Dr. Mccarroll has worked with individuals across a wide range of concerns, including first responder issues, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural matters, and sexual assault and abuse.
He also supports people dealing with communication problems, isolation, guilt, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. He practices in North Carolina and provides services in English. People can connect with him through video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experiences. The therapist listens closely and helps people set goals and make choices that fit their life. This approach helps with anger, relationship strain, and self-esteem by keeping the work grounded in what matters to the person.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Sessions teach simple skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger management, and many forms of addiction.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often used when strong emotions, impulsive behavior, or relationship conflicts are present.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to use client-centered work, CBT, DBT, or a mix of methods and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit support around work or caregiving, and they allow written reflections between sessions.
