About Darla
Darla Roundtree, LCSW, helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety find clearer footing. She focuses on everyday struggles like relationship tension, parenting strain, grief, and the ripple effects of trauma. Her approach centers on steady listening and practical steps so people can regain a sense of control and direction.
With ten years as a social worker, she brings steady experience to sessions. Darla emphasizes presence and a nonjudgmental stance, helping people name their strengths and set realistic goals. She listens for what matters most and offers feedback that people can use right away.
Her work is grounded in client-centered ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques, with tools from attachment-focused and emotionally-focused approaches. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and also helps change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Sessions often include talking through difficult moments, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small experiments to try between meetings. Darla helps people build coping skills for mood shifts, anger, and transitions like divorce or caregiving challenges.
She also supports people managing identity and life-stage concerns such as LGBT issues, adoption and foster care dynamics, or body image. Her goal is to help each person move toward the life they want through steady, practical work and honest conversation.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotions and patterns. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and supports building safer, steadier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like persistent anxiety.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That means conversations about which tools to use and periodic check-ins to see what is helping.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also let people do shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or a quiet space is limited, or choose video when seeing facial cues matters. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to an online setting so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
