About Darla

Darla Roundtree is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical support for parenting challenges, coping with life changes, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Darla writes simply and listens closely to what each person brings to the session.

She aims to meet people where they are and build on their strengths. Sessions emphasize clear communication, learning skills, and taking concrete steps toward the goals a person names. Darla offers steady, nonjudgmental feedback and helps people put words to their experience.

With ten years of experience as a social worker, she draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. Darla describes herself as present and attuned, focused on helping people identify resources and try workable strategies. She encourages realistic, gradual change rather than quick fixes.

People who are coping with trauma, mood shifts, ADHD, grief, career stress, or relationship conflict may find her direct but compassionate manner helpful. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care matters, abandonment, blended family issues, and caregiving stress.

Darla practices in Tennessee and offers services in English. She welcomes inquiries about general concerns and goals and invites people to start a conversation when they are ready.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand relationship habits and try new ways of connecting when they feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotions and connection to help people name feelings and shift interaction patterns that cause pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, or offer a simpler way to check in between other responsibilities. Some people find audio-only sessions useful when bandwidth or screen time is an issue, while others prefer video for face-to-face interaction. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit scheduling, comfort, and day-to-day routine.
