About Darla

Darla Roundtree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strain, grief, and related issues. Darla also lists support for ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles.

She uses a practical, person-focused approach in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on current problems and clear next steps. She listens for strengths and helps clients name what matters and what they want to try differently. Feedback and concrete strategies are offered alongside reflective discussion.

Her background in social work shapes a broad view of life factors that affect how people cope. She draws on methods that include attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused tools. These are used to address patterns in relationships, mood, and stress responses.

Darla aims to help people notice how past relationships affect present choices. That can include attachment concerns, abandonment or adoptive family issues, blended family strain, and communication problems. She also addresses caregiver stress, body image, and codependency where these are part of a client's story.

Sessions emphasize clear skills and practical steps as well as space to reflect. Clients are guided to set manageable goals, practice new ways of communicating, and try behavioral changes between meetings. The overall tone is straightforward and focused on usable strategies.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. In practice this often means looking at how clients form closeness and how that affects communication and conflict. It can help with intimacy concerns and relationship patterns.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what the client says. The therapist uses that stance to help people clarify goals and feel understood before trying new strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and decide collaboratively which approaches fit best for the client's situation and preferences.

Confirm the current online session options before booking because formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy home or work day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can also adjust session pacing and use exercises or worksheets that clients can practice between meetings.
