About Darla
Darla Roundtree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family strain, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, and career or life transitions.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions emphasize listening, clear feedback, and practical steps clients can try between meetings. Darla encourages clients to name what matters to them and to notice small shifts that build over time.
Her work draws on several well-known approaches. She uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. Emotionally-Focused and attachment-based ideas inform her work around close relationships and patterns of connection.
In typical sessions she balances talking and practical skills. She helps people articulate goals, try new ways of reacting, and practice communication tools. For anger specifically, she focuses on recognizing triggers, calming strategies, and clearer expression of needs rather than blaming or shutting down.
Darla asks clients to bring honest examples from daily life so sessions stay relevant. She supports adults facing a mixture of concerns, from burnout and compassion fatigue to identity and intimacy-related questions. Sessions are conducted in English and can include international clients; confirm current session arrangements when booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how emotional needs get expressed. It helps when anger or distance shows up in partnerships or family contact by tracing how past and present connections shape reactions.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's perspective and priorities. Sessions using this approach give space for the client to set goals and for the therapist to reflect what the client says, which can make it easier to notice emotional patterns that fuel anger.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Practically, CBT offers exercises to test assumptions, shift unhelpful thinking, and practice alternative responses to triggering situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying skills-based work, focusing on emotional experience, or blending approaches over several sessions.
Please confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt homework, skill practice, and communication exercises so they work in everyday life.
