About Darla

Darla Roundtree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and family of origin concerns. She works with adults dealing with depression, grief, parenting strain, and intimacy-related problems. She also sees people facing career pressure, ADHD, and the aftereffects of abandonment or adoption and foster care issues.

Her style centers on listening closely and responding without judgment. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. She helps people name patterns that came from their family of origin and practice different ways of relating and coping.

In session she draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early roles and expectations affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are applied to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when needed.

Over her career she has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and codependency. She also supports those facing medical concerns like cancer and the specific stressors of caregiving. Her approach combines conversation, problem-solving, and skill-building to address both feelings and daily challenges.

Sessions are conducted in English. Darla accepts international clients and works with adults interested in sorting out long-standing family patterns, improving communication, and managing life transitions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on understanding roles from family of origin and how they affect closeness and trust. This approach can help people who notice repeating dynamics in their adult relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective. Sessions involve open listening, reflection, and helping the person clarify their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and checking in about what feels useful.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow a shorter check-in on a work break, or remove travel time. They also let people work with a licensed professional from another location while focusing on changing patterns that began in their family of origin.
