About Darla
Darla Roundtree, LCSW, offers calm, steady support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, parenting strains, and questions around identity and LGBT issues. She focuses on helping people name what they are feeling and find practical next steps. Her approach is rooted in listening and creating space for people to speak without judgment.
She has worked in social work for 10 years and brings that background into each session. Darla centers the relationship and pays attention to how attachment and past experiences shape current reactions. She helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between sessions.
Sessions tend to feel direct but compassionate. Darla emphasizes clear goals and small experiments you can do in daily life. She offers feedback, teaches coping tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches, and supports emotional processing using attachment-focused ideas.
People come to her for help with anger, coping with life changes, codependency, abandonment concerns, adoption and foster-care issues, and caregiver stress. She also works with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms and helps address attention-related struggles like ADHD.
Darla practices in Tennessee and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients through the service. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How Darla’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and the therapist's presence, offering nonjudgmental listening to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Darla will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She and the client decide together which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
