About Darla

Darla Roundtree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with ten years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting strains, and related issues. Darla also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy challenges, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Her approach centers on listening closely and helping people name and understand difficult emotions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods to help people notice patterns in how they relate and respond. Sessions focus on what is happening between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and on practical ways to shift those patterns.

Darla encourages people to draw on their own strengths and resources. She offers straightforward feedback and helps clients put small, doable steps into practice. Conversations aim to clarify goals and identify the next actions someone can try between sessions.

Her background as a social worker informs a realistic, down-to-earth style. She pays attention to how past attachments and life events shape current problems. Darla integrates tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they fit a client's needs.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on helping people identify and articulate core emotions and the interactional patterns those emotions create. It is often used for relationship patterns and for people who struggle to name what they feel. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and closeness with others; it can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and related themes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own priorities and pace, giving space for the client to guide what to work on and when.

Choosing an approach tends to be a collaborative process. Darla will discuss what matters most to the client and try methods that fit the person’s goals. She encourages shared decision making about which techniques to use and adjusts the plan as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online options can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to meet during a lunch break. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, so prospective clients should check current session options when they schedule.
