About Darla

Darla Roundtree is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control. Her approach is calm and present, with attention to what feels manageable for each person.

Darla emphasizes listening and helping people name what matters most to them. She aims to be nonjudgmental and to give clear feedback that supports change. Sessions tend to focus on identifying strengths, setting small goals, and practicing skills between meetings.

With ten years as a social worker, Darla draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also incorporates attachment-informed thinking to understand how past relationships shape present reactions.

People who work with Darla can expect a collaborative process. She helps articulate goals and breaks steps into doable actions. The work can include talking through painful memories, trying new ways of communicating, and building routines to reduce stress.

Darla welcomes conversations about parenting strain, caregiving stress, identity and LGBT concerns, adoption and attachment issues, and coping after loss. She supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. If you want to explore next steps, she guides the matching and scheduling process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people notice recurring reactions in relationships and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches and adjusting plans as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or letting someone join from wherever they are that day. Licensed professionals can use these formats to offer continuity of care and practical skill practice between visits.
