About Darla

Darla Roundtree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with ten years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Darla also supports people facing parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD challenges, and codependency concerns.

Darla uses a collaborative, person-centered approach in sessions. She listens closely and helps people name feelings and patterns. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.

Her work draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how relationships affect feelings and behavior. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help people manage intense emotions and rethink unhelpful thoughts. Sessions combine reflection with concrete skills practice.

Darla aims to help clients notice strengths they already have. She offers feedback and assists people in setting realistic goals. The emphasis is on small changes that build confidence and better boundaries over time.

People come to Darla to sort through loss, grief, abandonment wounds, blended family challenges, body image concerns, or the stress of caregiving or medical issues. She accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns and practice new responses to closeness and distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear tools to change unhelpful thinking. In remote sessions, CBT often uses worksheets and short homework tasks to try between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name deeper emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck; it is useful for intimacy-related struggles and painful relationship cycles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

The exact online session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online meetings easier to fit into a weekday break or to avoid travel. Remote sessions also make it simpler to use worksheets, share notes, and practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, teach emotion regulation tools, and offer steady feedback through scheduled online sessions.
