Darla Roundtree , LCSW

Darla Roundtree, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. She focuses on women's issues among many areas listed and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable. Her style is calm and attentive and she centers the person in front of her.

Darla draws on ten years as a social worker to guide conversations and practical steps. Sessions tend to be warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on listening first and helping people name what matters to them. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and use those to move forward.

Her work often addresses attachment and relationship patterns, managing overwhelming emotions, and coping with life changes. She mixes client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused approaches to build skills people can try between sessions. That can mean practicing new ways to communicate, testing a different thought, or planning small behavioral steps.

People also turn to her for help with grief, caretaking stress, body image and identity concerns, and issues connected to adoption or abandonment. She supports clients exploring intimacy, commitment, and recovery from abusive experiences. Darla also brings attention to career stress and compassion fatigue for those in helping roles.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Tennessee and international clients. Her credential is Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. The focus in therapy is practical, collaborative work that fits each person's goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional reactions; it can help people understand patterns in intimacy, abandonment fears, and trust. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and understood; the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns.

Darla treats the choice of approach as a team decision. She will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and try methods that fit those needs. If something does not feel helpful, she adjusts the plan and collaborates on alternatives to find better alignment.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people read body language and work in a conversational way. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill prompts, or when a written format helps express thoughts. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
