About Darla
Darla Roundtree offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and questions about identity and intimacy. She helps people who feel stuck after big life changes, who struggle with mood or attention, or who are worn out by caregiving and career demands. Darla speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Darla uses a steady, person-focused style in sessions. She pays attention to feelings and patterns that get in the way of connection and wellbeing.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a balance of listening, reflection, and practical tools to try between meetings. As a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing for ten years, Darla draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She tailors the work to the problem at hand, mixing skills training, emotion-focused work, and thoughtful exploration of personal history when it helps.
Her sessions move at a pace set by the person seeking help. Darla aims to make goals concrete and achievable, such as reducing panic, improving communication, or managing mood swings. She also helps people build awareness of patterns that repeat in relationships and at work.
Darla has experience supporting people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, and caregivers coping with cancer or chronic care demands. She also works with people dealing with codependency, commitment fears, body image worries, and the fallout of separation or divorce.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early connections shape current relationships. It focuses on patterns of closeness and distance and can be useful for those struggling with trust, abandonment worries, or repeated relationship conflicts.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what’s heard, and helps the client name priorities and next steps. This approach supports people who want a safe, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and make choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching specific skills to manage symptoms and test new ways of coping.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Darla will discuss options and help choose an approach that fits the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as problems change and new information emerges.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversations; phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier when movement is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options give flexibility while keeping the same therapeutic aims of clarity, skill practice, and emotional processing.
