About Darla
Darla Roundtree, LCSW, helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. She works with concerns like parenting challenges, career stress, identity questions, and mood issues such as depression and bipolar. Darla writes plainly and listens closely to what each person brings to a session.
She emphasizes a calm, attentive presence in conversations. Sessions focus on naming what feels hard, spotting patterns, and trying small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Darla offers feedback and practical steps while also attending to feelings beneath the surface. Her ten years as a social worker shaped a flexible style. She draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Emotion-focused and attachment-based perspectives guide work on relationships and closeness. Darla helps people sort through issues tied to adoption, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also addresses anger, codependency, body image, and the fallout of natural or human-caused disasters.
Her approach treats concerns as part of a person’s life story, not the whole story. People who prefer a collaborative, steady listener will find her direct but warm manner useful. She aims to help clients identify strengths, set realistic goals, and take manageable steps toward those goals.
Darla encourages practical progress alongside deeper emotional understanding.
Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close bonds shape feelings and behavior; it helps people understand relationship patterns and build more trusting connections. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client to foster self-direction and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video works well for in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins suit live chat, and text-based messaging can support short updates or coaching between appointments. These options offer flexibility while keeping therapy focused on practical change and emotional growth.
