Darla Roundtree, LCSW

Darla Roundtree, LCSW, offers practical help for common and painful problems. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, grief, career strain, and ADHD-related challenges. Darla keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. She brings ten years of social work experience to each appointment and centers her work on listening and presence. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental space where feelings are noticed and responded to rather than dismissed. Darla emphasizes helping people name problems and try doable steps forward. Her approach combines cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-informed and client-centered ways of working. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, understand patterns in close relationships, and use their own goals to guide change. She also draws on skills from dialectical and emotionally focused approaches when they fit a person’s needs. Darla often helps people dealing with abandonment wounds, attachment concerns, blended family stress, codependency, body image issues, caregiver strain, and divorce or separation. She also addresses compassion fatigue, commitment and control problems, and communication difficulties. People who choose her usually want clear, practical tools plus space to make sense of feelings. Darla welcomes clients across Tennessee and international clients who want to work by video, phone, chat, or messaging. She aims to help people take small steps that add up to real change.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going and then try different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect present close relationships. It can help with attachment issues, abandonment wounds, and recurring relationship problems by focusing on needs and emotional responses.

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s goals and choices. The therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for grief, self-esteem, and decision-making struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then combine methods that fit the situation. That way the plan evolves from what the person wants and what works for them.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone works when bandwidth or sightlines are limited. Live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins, ongoing support, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people get care without travel or time-consuming commutes.
