About Darla
Darla Roundtree, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She emphasizes steady presence and calm listening to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Darla offers practical support and feedback while people clarify their goals and take small steps forward.
She draws on ten years of experience as a social worker in Tennessee. Sessions center on the person in front of her - their strengths, values, and real-life challenges.
Background and approach
Darla aims to help people notice patterns, understand how past experiences affect today, and practice new ways of coping. Her approach blends attachment-focused ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools. That means she pays attention to relationships, listens without judgment, and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses techniques from emotion-focused and dialectical approaches when strong feelings need regulation. Darla works with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, blended family problems, and body image concerns.
In sessions people can expect a collaborative tone. Darla helps set attainable steps and builds on existing strengths. Her goal is to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current trust and closeness. It can be helpful for people wrestling with attachment issues, abandonment, or difficulty forming stable bonds. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and meeting a person where they are; the therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help people clarify their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using more than one approach and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for longer work and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging supports shorter updates or between-session notes. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules change.
